Struggling with credit card debt? You're not alone! According to a recent Bankrate survey, 1 in 3 Americans are in the same boat!
Despite improvements in inflation and a robust job market, many Americans are finding it tough to keep up with credit card payments. By the end of 2023, the nation's credit card balances hit a whopping $1 trillion, a record high reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Wilbert van der Klaauw from the New York Fed pointed out that delinquency rates for credit cards and auto loans are rising, indicating heightened financial stress—especially among younger and lower-income households.
Are you part of the 36% of Americans with more credit card debt than emergency savings? It's time to take control of your finances! Bankrate's recent survey revealed that Millennials and Gen Xers are particularly affected.
But here's the silver lining: more Americans are now prioritizing both paying down debt and boosting emergency savings simultaneously, recognizing the increased cost of carrying debt.
