very interesting chart. Thanks for doing that.

Just eyeballing the dates, it seems like consumers started using the credit more after, rather than before the down cycles. The peaks on the chart marked the end of real estate down cycles. So it may be more of a trailing indicator vs leading, as I unscientifically opined.

I wonder if there is prime rate data available to see how interest rate might have affected borrowing.
