Welcome to the Louisiana Association for Personal Financial Achievement website. Research has shown that the average American carries eight credit cards in his or her wallet and a balance of $10,000 in credit card debt. According to the findings in an article on the MSN Money website, most of this credit card debt is acquired, not by big-ticket items, but by monthly expenses, such as groceries. Economists are predicting that this credit debt will increase with unemployment as Americans try to supplement lost wages with credit.
