With the growing economic crisis, credit card debt has become a massive burden for many people.

When it comes to average credit card debt, average will always be a relative term. By its very nature, you find an average by adding up a bunch of different amounts and dividing them by the total number. In other words, if you took three people -- one with a debt of $8,595, one with a debt of $50, and one with a debt of $200 -- the "average" debt between them would be about $2,950 -- a very misleading figure.
Having said that, however, the more people involved in the study, the closer to the actual average your answer will be. So although you should take "average" numbers with a grain of salt, they can be very informative about the amount of debt people actually carry.
Many people dismiss their credit card debt, but carrying more than they should leads to significant problems in the future. Let debt get out of hand, and watch credit scores plummet.
