The high cost of living in Chicago likely affect the state’s average debt load. Residents throughout the state reported reaching for their credit cards in order to pay for: home improvement projects, monthly expenses, shopping, unexpected expenses, and vacations.  

Analysts attribute the increased spending as a sign consumers were feeling optimistic about the economy and were taking on additional debt without necessarily preparing for a financial emergency.

Testimonials from our Illinois Clients:  

• “I’m the kind of person who likes to get something set up that runs automatically and I don’t have to think about it. DebtWave accomplishes that for me. I know the payments are coming out of my account, I know I’ll be paid off in three more years, I just file the emails in the event I want to go back and see something…I pretty much let it take care of itself. I love that.” 
• “I immediately recommended this program to my daughter.”
