Americans in Debt

By Mike Hamel







Debt is a fact of life in America, making debt relief a national obsession. A search for “debt relief” on

Google pulls up over 34 million pages; on Yahoo and MSN, the total is over 12 million pages.



The average American household has $9,300 of credit card debt, but the share of income going to

lower credit card debt has fallen to 0.3 percent.



The increase in personal debt can’t all be blamed on overspending. After adjusting for inflation, wages

have been flat for the past five years while the cost of essential goods and services like housing, food,

medical care and transportation have risen over 11 percent according to the Federal Reserve Board's

most recent Survey of Consumer Finances.



Housing Debt

Based on this study, the Washington Post recently reported that,



“The debt of the typical American family earning about $45,000 a year rose 33.1 percent from 2001 to

2004, after adjusting for inflation … Housing debt has climbed notably because home prices have risen

and people have borrowed against the equity in their homes. From 1989 to 2004, for example, the

median mortgage debt more than doubled, from $46,900 to $96,000.”



This refinancing trend is one of the main strategies for debt relief. It takes several forms: first mortgage

refinancing, second mortgages, http://www.lowowe.com/debt_consolidation.php debt consolidation

loans and home equity lines of credit. These mortgages can be either fixed-interest or

adjustable-interest loans.



Many websites keep abreast of current interest rates and offer a http://www.lowowe.com free

mortgage refinancing application that matches potential borrowers with the best loans based on factors

like credit history, FICO score, type of mortgage and size of loan. www.LowOwe.com is typical of sites

that help clients reduce the monthly cost of home ownership through refinancing.



Debt Consolidation Loan

A debt consolidation loan converts a passive asset—home equity—into ready cash for debt relief. It is

easier to get than other forms of borrowing because the loan is secured by tangible property. It makes

better sense than borrowing against the cash value of a life insurance policy or pulling money out of a

retirement or 401(k) account.



New or refinanced mortgages don’t really reduce debt, but they can restructure it in beneficial ways.

Benefits include: being able to pay off high-interest credit cards and other forms of revolving debt;

making home improvements that increase the market value of the house; having a single monthly

payment at a lower rate of interest. An added plus is that the interest on a home loan or mortgage is

usually tax deductible.



But don’t wait too long to refinance. CNNMoney.com reports that, “Real estate gains came to an abrupt

halt in the first quarter of 2006, with the median price of a U.S. home falling 3.3 percent from the fourth

quarter of 2005. … Prices were basically flat or lower during the quarter as inventories of houses for

sale rose and their time spent on the market lengthened, according to a survey of 149 markets by the

National Association of Realtors.”



Even if the Feds keep raising interest rates, mortgage refinancing and home equity loans will still be

the preferred form of debt relief for homeowners who find themselves in a financial pinch. At a time

when the national savings rate is below zero, home equity is the only asset many people have.

Credit Card Debt In America

By Jake Truman







Americans have frequently been told that they live in the wealthiest nation on Earth. We are frequently

told of the prosperity that this country has. Unfortunately, these statements conceal the terrible truth

about finance in America. Statistics show that Americans are having a much harder time paying their

bills. In fact, they are having such a difficult time paying their bills that the savings rate for the country

has dropped to the lowest level since the height of the Great Depression in 1933. If these statistics

don't frighten you, this means you are either one of the few who has their finances under control, or

you are unaware of the financial picture in the United States.



A number of studies have shown that the typical American owes about $10,000 in credit card debt at

an average of 14% interest. Combine this with the auto loans, mortgage loans, student loans, and

numerous other bills most Americans have today and it is easy to see why so many people are in debt.

If this situation doesn't remotely describe you, congratulations. It is in your best interest to keep it that

way. If this situation does sound familiar, there are a number of changes you will need to make in your

life immediately if you wish to be successful.



First, if you are making only the minimum payments on your credit cards each month, it may take you

as long as 30 years to pay off the balance if you owe $5,000 or more. If you owe more than $10,000,

you may never be able to get out of debt if you are simply paying the minimum payments. The banking

industry and federal government has not made things any easier. A bankruptcy law was passed in

2005 that will make it harder for people to file bankruptcy in order to get out of debt, and banks are now

saying they will double the minimum payment on their credit cards each month.



One thing you can do to protect your family is to look for credit repair or debt consolidation services if

you haven't already considered them. If you have any personal belongings that are valuable, you may

need to consider selling them to pay off your debts. While this may not be a desirable option, the

alternative is much worse. The debt situation in the United States continues to spiral out of control. The

best way to protect yourself is to pay off your debt the best you can, and use a debt consolidation

service if you are not sure where to turn.



Don't waste hundreds of dollars or more on credit repair, which an damage your credit file. Read Credit
