Shoppers are racing from store to store this holiday season, with credit cards clutched tightly in hand and visions of future bills dancing in their heads.
One-half of Americans say they worry about the money they owe, and many say they worry most of the time about their overall debts, an Associated Press poll found.
Those debts can come from home and car loans as well as credit cards – even more so with December buying sprees. Three-fourths in the poll said they have credit cards.
Four in 10 of those with credit cards said they will use plastic to help pay for their holiday spending this year, according to the poll conducted for the AP by Ipsos-Public Affairs.
Most of those who are using credit cards said they would pay off their holiday expenses when their next bill arrives.
