The Chicago FED just reported a deep concern for the rising delinquencies on all forms of consumer debt, including credit card, delinquencies, auto loan delinquencies, student loan, delinquencies and non payment of rent. This cascading wall of debt is not only hitting consumers but the U.S. economy as a whole as businesses are also reporting a slowdown in hiring and more planned layoffs coming.

    • It is less expensive & there are less headaches for my cousin to fly to Mexico and get an MRI on her shoulder than to get it done WITH insurance here in the US. Her insurer has denied her an MRI for six months and has her do physical therapy which has left her with a numb arm she cannot use and they continue to deny her the MRI. If they grant her the authorization to do it, it will still cost more than a ticket to Mexico & the $100 to get the MRI. She still won't listen to me about making the trip.

Biden has been pleading with the MAGA lead House to introduce legislation to address it. That is where the problem lies, Trump allowed business to go to steroidal price gouging, no oversite nor govt. intervention anymore. Biden is the only candidate addressing these issues, but the MAGAS will tell you they are all corrupt, when the ones yelling the most are supporting the corruption.

    • We can spend our money where WE decide to. We already pay well over 50% of our income in taxes and use fees when you look at all of the ways they hit us. Unavoidable 22% federal income tax for many people and more for some, 15% payroll tax (medicaid, medicare, unemployment insurance, social security insurance), 7% sales tax when you buy anything, 5% state income tax, $4,000 plus per year in property tax, gas tax, tags, title, registration, food tax, tire disposal fees, utility taxes, TSA fees are more than some plane fares, mandatory insurance for cars and health and a long list of other types, hunting and fishing fees for licenses, driver's license fees, trade licenses to work. Everything else you buy has been inflated and costs more because those manufacturers, transporters and widget processors are being tapped too so of course they have to charge you to cover their bills. On and on. Cease and desist with government imposed burdens. People over 60 should be exempt from income taxes altogether. End some of the government services and spending instead of thinking up new ways to tax us for more government services. Once one service is created we should end 2 or 3 old ones. Especially the policy allowing social security recipients to adopt their own grandkids to get an additional 50% of their retirement per month. That's right. Straight from a Social Security reps mouth, $1k plus extra per month for the child. May as well give a universal basic income like the communists in CA and NYC want. A scroll as long as the Jordan river with more such tricks. Now do you still ask why the USA is $35T in debt? Some will say only a 30% tax burden. ONLY? Who in congress will stop the spending?

  • I am living in Thailand, which is technically, a Monarchy. In a Monarchy, the King owns everything. The land has "title" papers and most forest land has no papers to assure permanent rights of transfer. So the papers only identify who gets the privilege of paying taxes to the Crown. I gave away my land in the US when I saw that ownership there means the same thing. The responsibility of taxes to an imperial government. If you fall behind, everything can be taken from you by local and State government. My SS is less than $2000.00/month and 80% of that can be used for discretionary spending. I don't use insurance, personal transportation, or land ownership. But I had $1000.00 to spend on four men and 3 heavy machines to dig a pond on the land I rent. Then I did another pond, the next month. Now when the war parasites eliminate SS to "save," the budget, I will eat fish and water corn. I agree with you that consumer debt is going to take the US down.

  • I word two jobs - one pays 125K and the other pays 60/hr and I put in 35 hours a week on average at that job. I am probably heading to bankruptcy and I own absolutely nothing. I have no school debt, no fancy cars, no assets of any sort, I haven't gone on any vacations in a decade. What killed me is medical debt and medical costs that were put on credit cards like medications. My wife needed cancer care and insurance wouldn't approve medications she needed when she needed them. I paid out of pocket and she's alive and in remission and our children had a mother to see them graduate from school. However, it cost me my house, my vehicles, my savings, my 401K, and I'm over 100K in debt. Basically I had to come up with funds or she would die. It is neither exaggeration nor hyperbole to say that it was like a hostage negotiation situation and I had to pay or watch her die in front of me. Unless you've got eight figures in the bank the medical world can destroy you financially so quickly it will take your breath away.

Everyone wants a sit on your ass job and those are overseas now too! Thank all the CEO's and Government! My dad got his wealth with a 11th graded education. He was a plant manager in a textile mill for 30 years and started out as a floor mechanic. He spent his entire life working for the same company and retired very well off with a nice paid for home, owned two 40ft boats on the lake, owned land etc...

    • This is exactly true. The word "credit" when it comes to credit cards is a bit of a misnomer. It is not credit at all. Credit is money in the bank. A 'credit' card is a license to go into debt. Knowing this alone about credit cards has allowed me to own one with an 11k limit for the past 10 years, and keep the balance at zero even to this day. The trick is to never make large purchases without having the cash on hand to pay the balance. Yes, that means I'm renting my home. But, today, I am 100% debt free and I own everything in my possession, including 2 vehicles and an RV.

  • I live in Tampa, Florida. My homeowner's insurance was $2400 in 2023 but increased to $6600 in February. That new price (plus the increase in property taxes in 2024) caused a shortage, pushing my mortgage from $2485 to $3328 monthly. Our mortgage was $2145 when we bought this house in 2017. To add more salt to our wound, GEICO increased our auto insurance by $400 extra per month because our teenage son had to be added. Our monthly bills increased by $1600+ dollars; we are not okay...

We have unlimited hotspot, solar system, a paid off car, I don’t care if I’m never going to be able to pay off all this debt. I’d rather be able to enjoy my life while I still can, and honestly homeless people have way more freedom than most do nowadays, stuck in jobs to pay off and hope for a pipe dream that’ll only happen for few. People need to wake up, you’re never going to have enough money. They literally rolled out plans for us to “own nothing and be happy” and that’s only 5 years from now….

Today that same car wash is $23.00, not including a tip. Ridiculous. So I wash at home now. I eat at home now too. Last week my breakfast place upped their menu prices yet again within 3 months. $19.59 for a plate of two eggs two bacon, hash browns and toast. Not including coffee. That’s like $3 for each item. I’m not paying $3.00 for an egg plus 10 percent sales tax and leaving a 15 percent tip. Sorry for the rant. It’s time to save money and stop making others wealthy playing their games our money.

Not being married is probably my greatest money saver lol, I only have to worry about myself and my kid. I bought into the instant gratification lifestyle and paid the price, but I learned my lesson. I’m not rich, but I have enough money in the bank to cover major emergencies and I’m in an industry where I’ll most likely never be out of work.

    • I stopped paying my credit cards 6 months ago. Prices go up every week but wages are stagnant. Time for a third political party, the two party dictatorship doesn't give a crap about the average American citizen.

  • Can count on one hand the non-essential "luxury" items I've purchased the last 18 months - each costing about $40. My contribution to consumer spending is nil. Meanwhile, tourists roll into our town too, driving Land Rovers, & grocery costs nearly double, again. Another economic slam, on top of insanely escalating insurance costs, that's literally forcing me (neighbors too) to move out & away from a home I love. Much of it due to this horrid DC administrangulation.
