National credit card data doesn’t agree with 2,000 Disney responders who probably do intend to pay it off, but won’t. Everyone “says” they’ll pay it off. If they did, we would not have $1.1T in credit card debt in America.
“Would take” is not reality.
Or are you trying to argue Americans handle credit cards well?
The article:
- People go into debt to pay for Disney.
- They go into debt on average $2,000
- They pay it off in 3-6 months.
This thread:
- People go into debt to pay for Disney. YES! THANKS FOR CONFIRMING WHAT I SUSPECTED! I LOVE THIS POLL!!
- They go into debt on average $2,000. NO! YOU'RE WRONG. IT'S MORE! I REJECT YOUR STAT FOR NOT CONFIRMING MY BIAS!
- They pay it off in 3-6 months. NO! YOU'RE WRONG. ALL AMERICANS ARE OVEREXTENDED AND THERE IS A CONSUMER DEBT BUBBLE ABOUT TO COLLAPSE. I REJECT YOUR STAT FOR NOT CONFIRMING MY BIAS!
Oh, I have my concerns about the validity of the poll, too. I tried to find the data analysis.
But if they're only polling a small slice of Americans, namely those who recently took a Disney vacation trip, and are counting credit cards, I can see how they came up with these figures. But I'm not going to wholesale accept nor reject it without other hard data.
