I came across this chart http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/Common/Flash/P120764.asp?special=IA
It shows which states have the highest consumer debt loads, not counting mortgages. If you click on a state, it shows you how much debt people are carrying, by age group. Here in NJ, for people 40-49 years old, the average is $22,853. Our debt is "only" about $3500--only 15% of the average. I still want to be rid of it, but hey, it could be much, much worse!
Gee, I don't feel quite so bad now!
