I'm curious, who amongst us owes no money, except house. Like no car payments, motorcycle, boat, 4 wheeler, no credit card balance or any other thing that has an installment plan.

I sort of do????...I deal mainly in cash. have a credit card for ordering stuff online, but that gets paid off at the end of each week, so don't think that counts.
*Edit* it should be noted though, I don't actually own a house...I rent a basement suite when I'm in town off of a family member and when I travel it's either hotels, other tattooers houses, or in the bus.

Ol school snake charmer!
That's me!
Course with my house payment I can't afford any of that other stuff. I built my house in 1979 and it has been through a couple remodels.......funny thing is one of them (a major one) cost three times what it cost me to build it in 1979 Plus side is, it doesn't look like a 33 year old house. Down side is, my Willys DOES look like a 30 year project.

House payment and a Freightliner truck payment, all the personal vehicles and toys I own free and clear. Thinking about getting rid of my pickup and the wifes Jeep Cherokee and just getting a Super Crew cab pickup, but decided to wait until after the election to see if we still have a country and a job!

Fascinated by rolling objects!
Only the house. Hate car payments. Haven't had one since 1973.

It sounds like we are generally a bit more wise with our money than the general populace. I lost everything, house, truck, all credit down the toilet from a bad decision to get involved in the Katrina cleanup. Long story. I jokingly say that I was probably the furthermost person north to loose their house to Katrina.
In the long run it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I now have an arrangement as a maintenance man for my rent and utilities. My only bill is my phones, cable tv and internet. I have actually invested and accumulated more in the last 5 years than ever and often live on only a couple hundred dollars a week. I do have windfalls and just in last year was able to pay for my daughter's braces with cash, buy a couple new guns, A 2000 Power Stroke dually, a 97 Aerostar and have the money to assemble the rod. And the stress free living is probably the best part.

About the only people that owe nothing would be 6' under.

Still crazy after all these years!
Just now getting a lower interest loan on the house. Still owe about a third of its present value. No other interest/time payments.
Used to pay by check for everything. Now I charge everything and pay in full the first of the month. Only one check that way.
However, I do not charge when buying from people I know or from small businesses. I pay cash and tell them I don't need a receipt. How they handle the money on their end is their business.

I know a couple that pay for everything with a certain credit card and always pay off the balance every month. It accumulates Alaska Airlines miles and once a year they have enough miles to fly first class to Mexico or Hawaii.
