Published Thu, Nov 19 2020The average American consumer has about $25,483 in debt apart from their mortgage, and the average homeowner carries a mortgage balance of $215,655. Twenty-somethings are often bogged down by student loan debt, 30-somethings find themselves taking on more credit card and mortgage debt. It's not all that surprising that consumers in their 30s and 40s — who are growing families, buying homes and generally facing more expenses — would have more debt.
But if taking on debt in your younger years is considered the status-quo, what's the best age to pay it off by?Kevin O'Leary, an investor on "Shark Tank" and personal finance author,that the ideal age to be debt-free is 45. It's at this age, said O'Leary, that you enter the last half of your career and should therefore ramp up your retirement savings in order to ensure a comfortable life in your elderly years.
30. It’s possible! I did it!
At age 10. Outside of a mortgage don’t go into debt, live within your Means 😎
Can’t quite read the article but man is the guy in the frame looking good! Maybe could use a hat. stevie
Never,.. Wealthy people are never out of debt.
It depends on whether you subject yourself to a predatory system designed to keep you indebted in exchange for cheaply made 'luxuries' that you cant afford.
We should follow our Government example - the more debt the better Economy... 's propaganda machine will make sure everyone loses their hard earned money by investing at the top of StockMarket BUBBLE and have no money left to ever pay their debt off...
If things keep going the way they're going the answer for most people will be - Never.

You should never have debt in the first place but the financial matrix of society has levels you have to go through to evolve.

You will always have debt as long as there's taxes, property taxes and car n health insurance and those pesky utilities bills to be paid oh and forgot to mention cell phone bills and the need to have it upgraded every yr. 😆
What a schmuck headline. How disbarring to the millions of folks currently being prohibited from going to work due to mandated shutdowns, prohibited from earning paychecks, forced to dwindle savings, grow debt, lose housing.. sacrificing... in the name of “safety” 🙄
Headline ! At what age should you stand up to the government and say I do not want to give you 40% of my paycheck so I can pay my debt
If I left the cred-o-sphere in my 30s and lived pure cash into my 40s... I did it right, right?
The federal government should pay off all debts. No more student loans, no more credit card debt, no more mortgages,. Imagine all the people...
Don’t go into debt. Live within your income. 💰💰💰
good luck

25....and you'd better know where the hell you are going and have a Strategic Plan in place with a viable Tactical Plan in the wings.... IF NOT.... welcome to Uber
