New Credit Karma Data – Debts are down, but how sweet is the rest of your financial pie?
Thursday, January 27th, 2011Despite the budgeting, splurging, the holiday sales, and the inevitable panics over our credit card statements, our latest Credit Karma data shows consumers overall chipped away at their debts in 2010. Pause for celebration—Whooo!
From January 2010 to December 2010, the average consumer credit card debt fell from $7,925 to $7,404, a 7% drop nationally.
Here are more numbers to showcase the average American’s debt situation in 2010:
- Decreased home mortgage loans 4% to $173,340
- Decreased home equity 4% to $49,803
- Increased auto loans 4% to $15,274
- Increased student loans 10% to $29,016
But what we really want to know, Credit Karma users, is beyond these national averages of debts up and down, how are you personally doing in your financial situation?
