An amazing number of people don't and stall to January what they should pay now when it's due. I have no such issue, so it doesn't really apply to me personally.

I wonder what the stats are on that, people who delay paying bills until after the holidays.

If the percentages are high, that's a real sad state of affairs.

I'm not finding anything direct on the question in a quick search, but I did find this:

"Americans go into the holiday season facing not just higher prices, but also carrying more debt. Fifty-seven percent of say they have at least some debt going into the holiday shopping season, up 11 points from last year. There was a five-point gain among those who say they have a lot of debt. Among the age groups with the biggest change: 18-34 year-olds, which could reflect a change in the status of their student debt payment."
