(InvestigateTV) — Credit card debt is a tough cycle to break, and a recent survey found many people are feeling like they’re falling further behind.
“It’s something that is kind of plaguing most Americans. It’s definitely not going away any time soon,” WalletHub Managing Editor John Kiernan said.
Kiernan said he’s heard countless stories from people struggling to keep up with rising credit card interest rates. And the numbers bear this out.
