Question by pdooma: Can we do anything about the Personal Debt Crisis in this country?
Even when the Dow was over 13,000…when unemployment was at 4%…Americans STILL overspent!

Now, average credit card debt is 13. The average household credit card debt is 00.

These numbers are actually LOWER than they had been. October, 2008: 08 per adult, 88 per household But this is still really high. Why can’t Americans spend within their means? These aren’t necessarily working class poor that racks up this debt out of necessity, but middle and upper class people who simply can’t stop spending.
