With the festive season fast approaching, the threat of credit debt leaving a negative impact on household budgets in 2020 and beyond is a real concern too many Australians face.
Australian household debt has risen steadily over the past three decades – with historical OECD data showing the ratio of household debt doubled – from 104% to 212% – between 1995 and 2015. What that means is, if the average person earns $80,000 net, they are spending $169,600 per year.
At Christmas, with the added financial pressure of gifting presents to children, friends and extended family members, reliance on credit cards – and the reality of accruing even more debt – is something many people find too hard to avoid.
In fact, in Christmas 2018, it was estimated (finder.com.au) that Australians spent a collective $25 billion – a staggering number that equates to $1325 per person.
It seems Aussies are knowingly getting themselves into debt at Christmas, leading to money worries and increased stress levels, and hundreds of dollars in interest payments to banks and financial providers.
