Consumers’ Corner
Trends In Credit Buying
At the end of 1970 consumers
owed more than $l2B billion in
non-mortgage debt—an average
of |6lO per person. Installment
debt accounted for about 80 per
cent of this total or $491 per
person. A decade earlier per per
son installment debt was $296
less than hall the 1970 level.
Debts for automobiles, other
consumer goods including pur
chases made with bank credit
cards and revolving charge ac
counts, and personal loans, each
accounted for about one-third of
the increase.
Higher income and rising costs
have contributed to the growth
of consumer debts. Families had,
on the average, 76 percent more
income to spend in 1970 than in
1960.
At the came time, the number
of item* on which families can
spend this income has increased.
Examples include compact can
with luxury car features, and the
development of color television
Also, new materials, new con
venience items and required safe
ty features have added to the
price of many non-luxury items.
