Hi Oblomov- The source you used, the Federal Reserve's triennial Survey of Consumer Finances, demonstrates that the ratio of debt payments to family income really hasn't changed much from 1989-1988. You have 1998 already. federalreserve.gov For 1989, 1992 and 1995, look at Table 14, p. 21 here: federalreserve.gov The big change was from 1983 to 1986, but the 1983 and 1986 data set can't be broken down in the same way due to the way the survey was conducted. federalreserve.gov
