U.S. Consumer Debt Hits $17.1 Trillion Consumer debt in the United States has continued to rise, reaching $17.1 trillion in 2023, up from $16.38 trillion in 2022, according to an Experian study. This trend persists across all regions and generations, despite a brief decrease during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, experts like Joseph Mayans from Experian suggest that when adjusted for recent rapid income growth, overall debt loads remain below pre-pandemic levels and are historically low. While the growth rate of consumer debt slowed in 2023, it still indicates an ongoing pattern of increased borrowing among Americans, with credit card debt being a particular area of concern for some analysts. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts "Buy Gold and BURY IT" – Chris Martenson w/ Mike Maloney READ MORE HSBC Predicts Gold's Rollercoaster: 2024 Surge Followed by 12% Drop in 2025 READ MORE Fed's Schmid Advocates Caution as Inflation Nears Target READ MORE Bond Traders Eye Possibility of 50 Basis Point Fed Rate Cut After Inflation Data READ MORE Walmart and Target Cut Prices Amid Persistent Inflation Concerns READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
