Very healthy. I'm living at my parents', and there's no shortage of money here.

Why do you get an allowance? What do you do?
I never got an allowance, always had to work for my money since I was 14 years old. I bought my clothes, my car, everything. If I worked, I had to pay rent at my parents house , and if I was in school, I paid for my courses but no rent.

Very healthy
1. Income is good despite my wife being off on maternity leave-- her return to work weill just be a bonus
2. . we own about half our house and will own the rest in 12 years (or sooner)-- locked in at 4.5% for the next 4 years
3. no other debt except we lease one of our vehicles-- the other is paid off
4. Retirement fund is topped up and in my current job through various programs my saving 7% of my salary becomes a 20% fund (employer matches 5% of my saving plus contributes 8% of my salary into a retirement fund)
5. Stock options and bonuses will simply be a windfall when they come-- I don't count on them
I have been thinking about getting a new car but that 8 year old Civic is just fineYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

I'd say very healthy.
My wife and I both work, and together bring in a fairly substantial income. Our expenses are low (no kids, not yet at least), resulting in a lot of saving, and we've made a respectable dent in our current mortgage.
We plan to move next year, which will result in a different mortgage, but we've got enough savings that, together with at least some of the profit from the sale of our current home, I hope to put down at least 25% of the cost of the new house... maybe closer to 30%. Tough to say for sure.
We own both of our cars outright. We're doing well on retirement savings, with our 401(k)s and IRAs. The one area we're not great in is more medium-range investment. But I want to get the new house squared away first.

What is the goal of "medium range investment" for you ??-- I pretty much know my income will continue to go up so we can buy things like a vacation property or a new car when we need etc etc-- So all my investments, are considered "long term" by meOriginally posted by Arrian

I don't see the problem with general information. The most specific thing I posted was the interest rate I pay.Originally posted by Saras

The details of my employers programs are known to all the other employees and potential employees so anyone that actually just knew where I worked could know pretty much everything I have postedYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Not bad. I have a bunch of student loan debt (about $30k), but I don't have to pay that off till after grad school. And thanks to my car being totaled (mostly superficially), I can easily pay off my credit card debt. Meanwhile, I'm generally saving a reasonable amount every month."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "
