American millennials owe an average of $ 87,000
93 thousand dollars, writes CNBC.
Millennials (young people from 25 to 40 years old) owe 87 thousand dollars. The average debt on a credit card from Americans turned out to be more than $ 4,000, on a student loan – almost 39 thousand, on a car loan another 19 thousand, and on a personal loan – more than 12 thousand dollars. In terms of debt growth dynamics, millennials are second only to buzzers (people under 24) – year-on-year, their debt load is growing by 11.5 and 67.2 percent, respectively.
at a fast pace in eight years – it increased by 2.1 percent, and the total volume of liabilities of citizens approached $ 15 trillion.
The most significant contribution to the increase in the volume of debt was made by mortgages. At the same time, millions of Americans are unable to pay rent and mortgages, despite government assistance. Most US residents were unable to set aside funds for future housing payments, as unemployment benefits and lump-sum payments from the state were spent on goods and services that have risen in price.
