Original: America’s Household Financial Stress Is the Worst Since 2010 - Nearly 1 in 5 Families in Debt Are Behind on Payments
New analysis of US household finances indicates financial stress among American families has reached its highest level since 2010, in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Roughly one in five families carrying debt are behind on their payments, pointing to strain from high borrowing costs, elevated prices and dwindling savings. Commentators are weighing what this means for consumer spending and the broader economy.
