A new report ranks New Yorkers as having the 27th highest amount of credit card debt burden in the country.
The report from creditcards.com compares credit card debts to household income.
Researchers found people in New Mexico have the highest average debt burden, at a rate of more than $8,000 per household.
The report also offered advice to get ahead of credit debt. Researchers suggest transferring your debt to a zero-interest credit card, and paying down the balance during that zero-interest introductory period.
