Here’s an absolutely frightening graphic showing the growth of credit card debt in the U.S. from 1970 to today (and beyond).
The graphic is courtesy of Man vs. Debt.
I think it really hammers home two points:
- How much the American consumer has become dependent on credit cards over the past 40 years.
- That the increase in the amount of debt has great outpaced the increase in households getting credit cards.
What do you think?
