A new study of American debt by Spinwheel shows Americans are carrying record levels. The danger increases as they add multiple debt types. Spinwheel analyzed $2.9 billion in consumer debt from more than 20,000 borrowers between November, 2025 and this May. Simply adding one debt type dramatically increases obligations, Spinwheel’s Jessica Kendall said. Moving from one to two increases the median balance more than tenfold, from $2,755 to $28,251. Adding a third type hikes balances by more than 600%.
