How much debt do Americans have? The folks over at howmuch.net recently put together an eye-catching map showing the average debt-load of Americans ranked by their respective state. They utilized survey data after asking Americans how much debt they had – which included items such as a mortgage, credit cards, student loans, car notes and even medical bills. Not surprisingly Hawaiians topped the list with an average debt load of $869,250.
