Every three months, Intuit Credit Karma, a free online financial service that provides users with credit scores, credit reports, and other services, releases a report about the current state of debt and credit through a study of 88.5 million people from its U.S.
member base.
In each report, the debt held across generations is stacked up against each other for comparison and broken down.
And at first glance, Gen X, the generation born between 1965 and 1980, holds the most debt.
And that makes sense.
The youngest are in their mid-40s and the eldest are reaching their 60s.
They've had decades of financial experience with bigger expenses like mortgages, car payments, and many are putting their kids through school.
But when it comes to accumulating debt quickly, it's young people like me, along with the rest of Gen Z, that are racking up debt the fastest.
Born between 1997 and 2012, Gen Zers range from 12 to 27 years old.
For now, we'll be focusing on Gen Zers who are 18 and over, since they qualify for loans and credit cards.
Despite their short financial experience, I didn't realize just how fast my generation was racking up debt, and I was shocked.
So I reached out to Credit Karma for some answers.
As their consumer financial advocate, Courtney Alev helps consumers make informed financial decisions.
This is a special edition of Your Money Briefing for Sunday, August 18th.
Gen Z and the Debt Trap.
A three-part series that looks at why this generation is accumulating debt so fast and what can be done to slow the growth and how our debt could affect everyone else.
I spoke to Wall Street Journal reporters, researchers, and Gen Zers who are carrying debt to look at three key things.
How we got into so much debt so fast, why Gen Z is stuck there, and what we can do to get out of it.
And at the heart of the series, these are the stories of people who are trying to manage their debt.
In this episode, we talk about how Gen Z racked up so much debt.
