American Debt: Auto Loan Balances Total $1.22 Trillion in 4Q 2017

That’s $64 billion more than consumers were carrying at the end of 2016 and $8 billion more than they were carrying at the end of the third quarter 2017. Balances have been climbing for the past six years. In the fourth quarter of 2017, TransUnion estimated that the average auto borrower had a balance of $18,588.

Auto loan delinquencies surge past Great Recession rate

Some 7 million Americans are 90 days or more behind on their auto loan payments, new data released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shows. The number of delinquent loans follows a trend of steady increases since 2011 and has risen to the highest level in the 19-year history of the bank’s loan origination data.

“That is more than a million more troubled borrowers than there had been at the end of 2010 when the overall delinquency rates were at their worst,” economists at the New York Fed wrote in a blog post.

https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/02/13/us-debt-rate-auto-loan-delinquencies-record.aspx

quote:

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York just put out its latest quarterly report on U.S. household debt and found that Americans collectively owe about $13.54 trillion, an amount that has risen for 18 consecutive quarters and is 21% higher than the $12.7 trillion owed in 2008 during the height of the Great Recession.

Thank god the economy is still so strong, even though nobody can afford to live their lives. If the economy wasn't so strong I might worry, but we have a strong-rear end economy.
