NEW YORK—Americans, and especially women, are feeling less secure about their finances today than just a few months ago, a new study shows.
Overall, cardholders are paying their balances in full less often and feeling less confident about doing so in the future than at any time in the past year, according to a monthly credit card confidence survey by CompareCards.com.
Women are struggling the most. For the first time, women were more likely to say they never paid their card statements in full once in the previous six months than to say they did so every month, CNBC stated in its analysis.
Men were much more likely to say they always paid their bill in full, the report found.
