US credit card balances rose 13.1% year-over-year in the first quarter

A New York Fed report is out on household debt:

  • Overall debt up 1.1% in Q1
  • Q1 mortgage balances rise $190 billion

The New York Fed said maxed out credit card borrowers are facing rising stress.

Yeah, I certainly bet they are. Struggling to pay the bills with a maxed out credit card is the very definition of peak financial stress.
