Now is an excellent time to try and make your debt less expensive: especially high-interest credit card debt.
Personal finance expert Sara Rathner with NerdWallet said mortgages make up a big portion of the debt.
“If you were to break that apart and just look at credit card debt,” Rathner said. “Households with revolving credit card debt owe about $7,500, which is up about 28% from last year.” She said the end of pandemic aid combined with higher prices and higher interest rates has consumers relying more on credit cards.
