Wit thanks to Jim Taranto, WSJ:

“Washington [D.C.]-area consumers have the second highest average credit card balances in the nation, and mortgages that rank in the top 10, according to credit monitoring service Credit Karma,” reports the Washington Business Journal:

Nationally, consumers currently have outstanding credit card balances averaging $5,403. In Washington, the average outstanding balance is $6,439, second only to Honolulu, at $6,846.

That’s nothing. We know this guy who was born in Honolulu and moved to Washington a few years ago, and you’ll never believe how much debt he ran up!”
