Question : World’s record credit card debt (what is the most you have ever heard anyone owes on their CC’s)?
I was watching an old episode of Oprah and they had stories of people who were in serious debt to credit card companies. Some of the people were having hard luck due to job loss and medical bills, others were just super spenders who bought things on credit without looking at the cost.

Some people owed as much as $ 150K on credit cards!

How about you, what is the most you have ever owed or heard about?

I’ve heard similiar number, but I believe the record is still being set, because some poor sole who was already above his head and up to the roofline in debt has now got to deal with outrageous fuel prices; which in turn has caused his food bill, insurance, utilities and local taxes to increase.
Creditors put WAY too much emphasis on monthly income and montly payments. Gotta think bigger. My take is if your TOTAL debt (excluding a Mortgage) is more than 50% of your ANNUAL income, you need to make a change and reverse course.
