    Depends. Are you dividing by total population or actual cc holders? Because the latte isn’t as big.

      Stats from some googling. Assuming there are 250 million adults in US, and 80% have credit cards, that gives me 200 million holders, or ~$100 per person. That’s not really a whole lot of money anymore. Not in a world where taco bell costs $20.

          Agreed. The article also includes a consumer debt trend over time. It seems to outpace inflation by about 33% which is more noteworthy to me.
