Instagram post 2191482000678683769_6039557123 After mortgage debt, student loan debt is the second highest form of debt, currently at $1.50 trillion in Q3 2019. You can see from the age charts that the 70+ year-olds have a slightly higher debt balance than the 18-29 year-olds, although most of the over-70 debt is mortgage debt, and most of the 18-29 debt is student loan debt. Charts are from the Federal Reserve Board of New York, Center for Microeconomic Data Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit 2019: Q3 (released Nov. 2019) https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/interactives/householdcredit/data/pdf/HHDC_2019Q3.pdf #studentdebt #mortgagedebt #creditcarddebt #cardebt #payoffdebt #debtfreecommunity #debtstatistics #debtstats #debtfreecommunity #dfc #debtfreegoals #studentloandebt #demographics #personalfinance
