Today, there is a trend of increased borrowing
In today's economy, more families are depending on credit to see them through. In addition, lenders - especially those offering credit cards and home-equity loans - are now giving credit to those who wouldn't have qualified 20 years ago. Americans now owe $2.12 trillion - not counting their mortgages. That's more than double what they owed ten years ago. And, this is over a time period when their financial assets have gone up only 94% and their incomes have risen by just 65%.
According to a recent survey, the typical credit-card holder in 2001 had five cards and a balance of $1,900. About 83% of college undergraduates had credit cards in 2001, up from 67% just three years earlier.
As more families have begun to face greater debts, more have been forced to unload their debts in court.
