Credit card holders now owe around $1.3 trillion in debt, after adding $52 billion last year, according to WalletHub.
The financial wellness site ranks states by the time it takes to pay off those bills, with Alaska winning the dubious distinction of 16 months and 10 days to clear the books. The average Alaskan pays just $259 toward their credit card bill each month, with median debt spread across an average of 2.84 credit cards per person.
