Poll: Many Americans
concerned about debts
WASHINGTON (AP) — Shoppers are
racing from store to store this holiday season, with credit cards
clutched tightly in hand and visions of future bills dancing in
their heads. One-half of Americans say they worry about the money
they owe, and many say they worry most of the time about their
overall debts, an Associated Press poll found.
Those debts can
come from home and car loans as well as credit cards — even more so
with December buying sprees. Three-fourths in the poll said they
have credit cards.
Four in 10 of
those with credit cards said they will use plastic to help pay for
their holiday spending this year, according to the poll conducted
for the AP by Ipsos-Public Affairs.
