BINGHAMTON, NY - En un estudio reciente se descubrió que los estadounidenses tienen la deuda más alta de tarjetas de crédito en la historia de Estados Unidos, por un total de $1 billón.

Mandy DeHate, vicepresidenta adjunta de Marketing de Visions Federal Credit Union, está compartiendo consejos para que en estas fiestas no termine gastando más de lo que tiene.

"Make a budget, and make a plan."

Si ya tiene una deuda o está pensando abrir una nueva tarjeta, DeHate advierte que hay que mirar la letra chica. Prestar atención a las tasas de interés, los cargos por mora y las tarifas por transferencia de saldo puede ayudarlo a ahorrar a largo plazo.

"Any international fees that might occur as you're spending, and also what the standard fee will be. No puede dejar de lado los efectos de la tarjeta en el largo plazo ni de qué manera estos afectarán su vida y sus gastos diarios, y las deudas que podrá saldar a fin de mes".

En un estudio realizado por Business Insider, se observó que las deudas de las familias estadounidenses son de aproximadamente $16,000, y que aquellos hogares del nuevo milenio son los más propensos a incurrir en ellas.

Jessica Lliguicota, una alumna del último año de la Universidad de Binghamton, tiene una deuda de $500 en lo que va del año, y todavía tiene que terminar de hacer las compras de Navidad.

"I have multiple credit cards. Más concretamente 2 o 3. Creo que corté y tiré la tercera a propósito. I spend usually that amount every year just because of long distance family, I haven't seen them in a while so I believe they deserve something to give."

DeHate dice que tener un plan para saldar las deudas es uno de los mejores regalos que uno puede hacerse.

She suggests taking advantage of services like debt counseling at your local bank or credit union if you're feeling overwhelmed with debt.

"Take a deep breath. Observe su panorama financiero. It's a simple calculation of money calculation of money coming in vs. money going out. Everything can be solved, it might just take some time."
