Au contraire, mon Francais, c'est tragique.

46%. What do I win?
So, if we pay our CC balance in full each month, but this month has not yet been paid, does that mean that right now we have debt?
Sure wish I had a cashback credit card available to me.
For us pedantics: the definition intended sounds more actually like total liabilities, not debt. Disclaimer: not an accountant, just read some annual reports.
Debt is typically defined as money loaned from institutions. If your credit card is paid off every money automatically it's actually a deferred debit card, and doesn't qualify as debt normally (but is included in liabilities). Bills outstanding is account payables. There are also things like net debt (debt - cash equivalents).
Not that I really care, it's zero gross debt for me whichever way you go
Pretty amazing stat that 90% who answered the poll have little to no debt. Wonder if there is a correlation between FIRE and debt, wonder no more !
Sounds like a good question for a poll http://www.early-retirement.org/for...edit-card-charges-debt-83551.html#post1784340In fairness, many people who said they had "no debt" admit to having credit cards that they pay off each month. I would call that current debt.
