I would say we are a 6 and moving up, last year started as a 5 and it was a 3 before that.
We paid off about $20k of debt and $3k of tax bills this past year. Our credit scores are up over 700 with an Equifax of 722. We have a plan to pay off over $30k in 2010, $20k on my end.
DD looks to be 100% funded for her first year of college based on savings I have and scholarships she has already received for merit only. She still have to apply for at least 20 other scholarships, so she has the potential for us to have 2 years paid for. It is our goal of 25-30 scholarship applications for each child so they can get as much as possible.
We are both really secure at our jobs, and my second job. And most importantly our entrepreneurial efforts look to be paying off as there is a firm willing to finance us, and three mentors who have offered to assist us, so that is taking off very strongly.
I think 2010 will be a good year for us in general.

Gosh I find this post overwhelming....
Made me very sad....
I think my financial health is about a 4
I have huge consumer debt but I do own 70% of my house and have fairly good retirement plan happening....
I checked my credit score and its in the 780s (I dont get it with my huge consumer load) but I guess its because I have never been late or missed a payment
I am very grateful for this cuz it keeps all my rates low...1.9% - 11% for my credit cards and a mortgage rate of 1.25%
However I have to tell you folks I see my huge consumer debt and I feel soooo helpless at times and a slave to the cards...all my own fault tho
Anyways....so much for christmas cheer...

If 10 is debt free and stable jobs with plenty of spending money. Then I would say I too am a 6. Steady job. My car has 150000 miles on it. Its a honda but still not sure how long it will run. I can pay off one student loan but will most likely generate more with 2 kids in school.
