[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The debt thing is so weird. My DH and I are both public servants and have way more money than that and no debt exxcpet mortgage. If you don’t have the money why would you put 60k on a credit card for baseball tix?  That’s just so dumb. Their HH income is $260k and they have less than 65k saved??  Something doesn’t add up.[/quote]

This.  It’s especially weird since by all accounts he has been gunning for this his whole life.  Odd that someone who has been so careful in every other aspect would be so reckless about debt. [/quote]

Im liberal but yes he seems like an overall decent pick. Someone is working overtime to get feel good stories about him coaching and carpooling into the WaPo.  But why would a smart person make such stupid financial decisions. Its not like there are medical bills.  Also,  how can they have less than 65k in retirement at this age?  [/quote]

The less than $65K number doesn’t include home equity or retirement - those aren’t required to be reported. It’s still a really low number for assets outside those two things for someone who was a lawyer in private practice for a number of years, including as a partner at Kirkland & Ellis, and has made a good salary both in the Bush administration and as a federal judge.
