Instead of one main poll today, I thought we would mix things up and go through a bunch of mini-polls. No better way to find out if we are weird than to see how our preferences compare to the masses. Let’s do this….
[poll id=”14″]
[poll id=”15″]
[poll id=”16″]
[poll id=”17″]
[poll id=”18″]
[poll id=”19″]
[poll id=”20″]
[poll id=”21″]
I like these mini polls, always interesting to see where people fall.
Best mini poll I participated in today!
Not enough topics.
I only like eggs in cakes or cookies so I couldn’t vote on that.
The first house was 10% down. Paid cash for this current house but that was a bad idea.
Lied on the age question but you have to expect that on poles.
Why was it a bad idea to pay cash for your current house?
It took every single penny that I had and it left me with no money. I should have taken a small mortgage and kept some money in reserve. I paid just over $200,000 for my very modest home.
I should have kept some money in reserve for all the crap life was throwing at me and made mortgage payments for a few years. Instead I left myself with no emergency money and ended up with a lot of bills.
I have a very embarrassing spelling error (not a typo, just a really dumb error) in my original post and it won’t let me edit it out.
LMAO! I didn’t even notice it, had to go back to see what you meant. I think lots of girls on poles are lying about their age….
I don’t have a credit card, but you didn’t give the option of zero so I don’t know what other people said 🙁
Don’t have any credit cards
Stephanie and Amanda,
How hard is it to live without a credit card?
I buy my vehicle license online using the credit card so I don’t have to line up at the ministry and they mail my license sticker to me so I avoid paying for parking too. I put pay and submit medical expenses on the credit card and I get my money back before the bill is due.
Not to mention the points. My food bill for the Christmas holidays will be covered by my PC MasterCard points. 1% cash back on my Visa will fill my gas tank in the spring. 2% AMEX Costco rewards could be enough to buy a years supply of toilet paper for my family this year.
I love polls! 🙂
I don’t have any credit cards either and no car loans as we pay in cash.
forgot a card on the credit card, bumped me up a level on that minipoll.
Poached eggs. Bring it.
A few things; I dont have ANY credit cards (or credit). I started reading this site when I was 27 (turned 30 a few months ago) and I Hate Car Loans!!!!
BTW, I love the mini-polls.
Love the mini-polls! Love both pooches and kitties…. you need a “both” for that poll… but since I had to choose, I chose kitties 😉
Loved the mini-poll! I agree with Mo D. I love both dogs and cats as well!!!
I also love your blog!
Your blog is motivational and inspirational. I have been a reader for six months now.
I have to share with you all to celebrate, I just pay off my first two DEBTs of $1850.00 in six months!!!!
Yes have about 13,000 to go but my goal is 22 months I will be credit card, student loan, and medical bill debt FREE!!! 🙂
For almost every answer I had a “but I want to explain…” reaction:
– prefer dogs but have been adopted by a dang charming cat
– put down 10% but found a mortgage w/o PMI
– have multiple credit cards because I’m a mileage churner
– I’ve had one car loan (for 6k) in 15 years of owning 2 different cars, and would definitely buy used/pay cash if I had to buy another. But there is a place for car loans, like when I bought my current car, was in grad school, and needed to keep cash in the bank.
need a “no egg” option… as eggs are gross unless being baked in cookies
Eggs – poached if I am eating out – I can’t cook them well! At home soft boiled or scrambled.
Dogs, but would prefer not to be an owner. We have a cat, but it’s my husband, so why does she like sitting on my lap!!!
I put down 10%, but I only bought a small one BR flat in 1995 so the loan wasn’t outrageous – certainly not by today’s standards
0 Credit cards, BUT I have a debit card the i can use like a credit card so I have all the benefits of being able to buy on the internet, and hire cars. That’s how you do it Jane Savers!
I bout a car when I was 19, had a car loan. But I moved to a city when I was 21, and haven’t had a car since. Yay bikes, walking, public transport, taxis, lifts from friends and hire cars. All those options seem to cover most things. Not an option for everybody I know, but if it is possible the car free life is a dream. I would prefer to pay cash for a car. I have since married and moved to the outer suburbs with my husband and he had a car. So technically I don’t have a car, but I do. If that answers that question.
This is one of the few blogs, if the only blog I read.
I’m 47.
It was my first time participating in a blog mini-poll. 🙂 Loved the randomness of the questions. I used to like eggs, but in the past couple of years, I’ve developed a slight aversion to them.
I prefer cats, but I’m actually allergic to them. 🙁
30% voted for Cats? I grieve for the future of society.
I couldn’t vote in the credit card poll since zero credit cards wasn’t an option. 🙂
Zero credit cards! Yay!
Solely because this is the internet (an essential race to find out who can be the most technically correct), I believe sunny side up and over easy eggs are the same preparation.
