"“If what we found continues to hold true, we may have more elderly people with substantial financial problems in the future,” said Lucia Dunn, an OSU professor of economics. “Our projections are that the typical credit-card holder among younger Americans who keeps a balance will die still in debt to credit-card companies.”"

As far as I know, the debt isn't passed onto your heirs, unlike times passed.

It's all typical of the live now, pay later mentality.
