The total U.S. revolving debt (98 percent of which is made up of credit card debt) is $852.6 billion. In response, Quest for Credit, an animated short about the perils of credit card debt was released by Mint.com:
The video follows our hero as he finds himself in the land of the debtors thanks to his newly found power—a credit card. He then embarks on a quest to rid himself of debt, masters the principles of finance (budgeting, bills, etc) and is able to climb out of debt and into a home of his own.
Between Greece, the housing market and the recession –it’s about time for us all to go on a “Quest” of our own and dig ourselves, and our country, out of $852.6 billion dollars worth of debt.
