I agree based on my post but...I've also read many 'stats' about this issue of US personal debt and have seen various figures range to what the OP wrote to adding a ZERO to each figure. 2.24 >> 22.4 cards. 7,000 debt >> 70,000 debt. Etc. The stats on this topic are just all over the place. Not only do I think 'you nor I' would know the averages, I don't think anyone really has a clue except maybe the FBI/Fed/CIA, if they ever looked into the matter. One thing I think we can all agree on is that American's are deep into debt and it's not looking good. :/
