6 Percent of Us Are Still Paying Off Last Year’s Holiday Bills

Maybe that’s a good thing, given that the survey also found 6% of us — 14 million people —are still paying off last year’s holiday splurges. More than half of respondents to Consumer Reports‘ shopper survey say they plan to stick to a budget this year, up five percentage points from last year. One-third plan to cut back on holiday purchases, and 44% say it’s more important to get a good bargain this year.

In 2010, 53% of us whipped out the credit cards when gift-buying and charged an average of $433. However, the number of us who charged more than $1,000 dropped by seven percentage points to 16% last year.

HARLEM, N.Y. -- When Clyde Williams was growing up in Washington, D.C., he’d ride past the White House on a city bus and wonder what went on behind its stark white walls.

Clyde Williams, An Advisor To Clinton And Obama, Is Planning A Run Against Charlie Rangel

He and his family never lived in deep poverty, he said — his mother worked a number of jobs to make sure they didn't — but few from his neighborhood, more focused on their survival, ever paid much attention to the White House, let alone dreamed it possible to make it inside. Years later, Williams would not only make it within those white walls, but at the pleasure of Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. He was an adviser to President Clinton and later the national political director of the Democratic National Committee under President Obama. It was in the White House's Situation Room where he met his wife, Mona Sutphen, an aide to Clinton and later Obama's deputy chief of staff.
