Given that this is > $12,000 for a family of four, I'm guessing that it's not that much less, and at least half of it is carried over month to month, if not more.
- morgante 10y agoWhy do you assume that? I'm single but will sometimes have a debt of $10k in a month but never carry any over.

- hyperpape 10y agoMean (not median) household income in the US is $70k, I saw one source that it's more like 100-110 for married households with children. It is literally impossible for those families to pay off a $12k balance every month. Factor in that you often can't pay rent, mortgage or car payments from a credit card and it's not even close. (The fact that you save up and spend and then pay 10-12k in one month is irrelevant. Because of aggregation, what's relevant is your average month).
