Citizens who cannot make ends meet with their salaries and struggle to pay their rent and bills are turning to credit cards to ease their financial burdens.

Economist İnan Mutlu revealed the situation with striking data in a post on his social media account. Mutlu stated, "In the last year, an average of 258 thousand people per month have fallen under legal proceedings by banks because they could not pay their credit card or consumer loan debts."
