Inflation-battered Gen Zers face a debt load that is significantly higher than their millennial brethren carried when they were their age, according to a troubling new report.

The average credit-card balance for 22- to 24-year-olds — the prime age for Zoomers — was $2,834 in the last quarter of 2023, compared with an average inflation-adjusted balance of $2,248 in the same period in 2013, according to new data from Credit bureau TransUnion.
