Credit Card Debt in the US - Dollars

From StatWiki

The typical U.S. credit card balance in 2009 was about $3,000. An oft-reported statistic is an average of $8,000; however, that high number comes from a few big spenders who owe huge sums.

A surprising statistic: 27% of Americans don't have credit cards.
