There should be an option for negative net worth for all the expats who have debts back home.

Also there should be a 7-figure option for the million dollar man.

I was tempted to put a "less than $0" category, but the OP only asked for help creating a poll from his thread.ali baba wrote: Why did you miss yourself out when creating this poll?

I thought I'd just do exactly as he asked, since he specifically said exactly what he wanted.

Re: What Are You Worth?
How do you go about racking up 6k in credit card debt while in Cambodia? Do you ship yourself some merino wool underwear on a monthly basis or something? Or did you have a 100$ debt when you came here five years ago?

Thank God hostess bars and Pontoon don't take credit card! !
Actually, it's really stupid.
I just put all my flights and other online purchases on it. Damn, and even my visas on it.
Luckily, I've only been paying about 4% interest on it because I'm a balance transferring fool.
Even right now. I paid a lump sum of about $250 to transfer it to an account where I won't pay any interest on it for another year or so.
It's all the same card, they just put it in a different rate category.

Re: What Are You Worth?
I'm guessing (hoping) the negative worth group here are age 30 or under, for the most part. I bet many of us above that age were in a similar situation when we were in our late 20s. As long as you are actively working and gradually get some kind of plan for savings and future earnings growth, then don't sweat your current net worth. You will definitely want to be seriously considering your retirement savings requirements by age 40, though. Leave it much past age 40 and it can become much more of an ordeal to save enough without serious sacrifices in lifestyle.

You should save up before making the big move. But if you are an adventurous, hobo type, just fucking do it.
To end with a phrase from Greenday:
Its something unpredictable but in the end its right. I hope you had the time of your life.

Re: What Are You Worth?
It doesn't look like the 20-somethings on this thread are on your same path. Not having a savings plan may have worked out for you so far, but it might not work out so well for them. The consequences of outliving one's retirement savings, and having social security collapse before they can collect any, are far too real and potentially disastrous not to have a plan.phuketrichard wrote:soi dog;

Except for FC, he should continue living his life according to a lame American pop band's lyrics. That sounds like a good plan to me, for him.
