Red Pill Tidbit - Average CC Debt in America Not Q related, but an interesting look at how quickly things have turned around under Trumps administration.  Debt continues to rise (not good), but CC debt per household peaked in 2016 at $11,184, and has been on the decline since. Coincidence? Another method for estimating average credit card debt is to look only at indebted households - excluding who pay their balances in full on a monthly basis. To obtain this figure, we looked at data reported by the Federal Reserve for Outstanding Revolving Debt - we then divided that number by the number of card-carrying households each year. As of April 2018, the average credit card debt for these households is $9,333. https://www.valuepenguin.com/average-credit-card-debt
