A Culture of Silence - The Credit Card Debt Taboo
A poll by CreditCards.com released recently found that Americans are more likely to talk about sex with someone that they have just met then they are too talk about credit card debt. Of the 1,000 individuals polled, 80% declared they were somewhat or highly unlikely to discuss credit card debt with someone that they had just met, while 78% placed their love life off limits.
One interesting point made in the article is that while women were slightly less likely to talk about their credit card debt with a stranger, they were much more likely to talk about their debt with a credit card debt counselor.
