There is Credit, as in Praise 

                  And Credit, as in Debt  

   Total outstanding credit card debt for Americans was $753 billion as of April. This is a 14.5 percent drop, year to year, due to stimulus checks and reduced spending during the pandemic. 

   However, other outstanding debt has increased.

   Total outstanding consumer debt in 2020 was $14.9 trillion, says Experian.

   Total student loan debt in the first quarter was $1.7 trillion says the Federal Reserve.

   Total mortgage debt in 2020 was $10.3 trillion, up 7 percent. 

   Total consumer debt for an average American in 2020 was $92,000. 

   Does this concern anyone?
