financial health vs. physical health
DESCRIPTION
If you were given the chance to get rid of your debt, but in its place you’d have to pack on some extra pounds, would you do it? If you said “no” then you’re in agreement with the majority of Americans we surveyed. Credit Karma recently teamed up with Harris Interactive to survey 2,021 adults and found that the 72 percent of those with debt preferred holding on to that debt than gaining weight. See the rest of the results in this infographic.TRANSCRIPT
This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of Credit Karma from June 13, 2013 to June 17, 2013, among 2,021 adults, ages 18 and older.
