These people are so out of touch. The debt isn’t because of luxury purchases , people are charges groceries because they are broke. Just wait until those tariffs hit
But, but Trump will help with that. I mean Raphael Ted Cruz always takes care of the people. Well that's when Raphael is not on vacation, and well The DUMP just walked back that promise to lower Groceries.
@@user-ln7of9gs4s Sometimes you get put in impossible situations. When I worked at Home Depot (forklift driver), I would see them put a single cashier outside in the garden area right next to the entrance. If they needed water or to use the bathroom, they had to wait for someone to come relieve them. Sure, they could abandon the register to do either, but that's a guaranteed termination. Most of the time, those laws and rules are there to prevent companies from putting workers in such scenarios, not to literally tell the workers to go take a break.
Hardly anyone mentions how housing costs, including rentals, in the past several years in Texas have skyrocketed far beyond increases in wages, due to a plethora of issues ranging from large swaths of people moving here from other states, and other nations, companies relocating here due to tax subsidies, steep increase in property taxes, as growing communities struggle to afford new infrastructure to accommodate the growth. If a person didn’t have equity in property before the pandemic, they are paying a lot more after the pandemic for what used to be affordable. Costs are outrageous. Now throw in a labor shortage to build newer homes, it’s only going to get worse.
People going broke paying for health insurance. Texas teachers paying $1,800 per month for family with a $2,500 deductible. When other public employees paying $300-600 per month for family. And if a teacher goes to Legacy ER and they treat you above the simple urgent care you have to pay a random $500 extra that they don’t inform you about. A back door deal legacy er has with BCBS. Teachers can’t afford to go to the doctor when they are paying $1,800 just to have the card. It’s basically a catastrophe policy at best.
I’m going to have to move out of the state I’ve lived in my entire life because I never realized just how high property taxes are here compared to the rest of the country. 😢
Same worry here, but, I can’t seem to find any states where the property tax issue isn’t an issue. In every state property taxes on residential are being raised so that property taxes can be lowered for businesses.
It’s the property taxes! Schools keep spending and drive up housing costs, which also gets passed on to renters. And Texas schools consistently rank low. But hey, we’ve got great high school stadiums 🙄
@@daveb2280the point was about the people, not the state. The same people that preach for people to get off welfare and pull yourself up, yet are the ones in most debt lol
@@daveb2280 I don't know where you live but I live in Texas and my property taxes used to be consistent from year to year but has more than tripled over the last five years. That is also in violation of Texas law as the increases are capped to a small amount each year unless the property is sold. Then it gets readjusted accordingly for the new owner. Keep voting for "I'll look into it" Abbott and friends that never fixes anything because he is on the take. I'll send "My thought and prayers" your way.
WalletHub article dated December 5, 2024 - States with the Most People in Financial Distress, is an eye opener. Besides the ranking of all states on this metric, it’s interesting to see what states have the least people in financial distress. No surprise - Alaska. Looking over the table there is more to unpack in the data
Texans are more open to filing for bankruptcy because homestead is protected. The same situation in North Carolina would not lead to bankruptcy because homestead is not protected.
@@NorthSeaWisdomyou can declare your primary home as your homestead which shields it during bankruptcy. You can’t be forced to sell your home to cover your debts. Usually homesteading is declared at your county courthouse with a simple form you have notorized. Any time I move I make sure to declare my new home as my homestead.
The reporters are so clueless talking about "Stop spending money". *knocks on forehead" HELLO IN THERE......they don't have the money to begin with. They are tapped out ALREADY. There is no money to "stop spending". SMH......
I've lived in Houston for over thirty years and Texas nearly all my life, born in West Texas, and have never made much, don't have much, but I have less than $10,000 outstanding debt principal. Also, my bills are still relatively low, and I have spending I can easily cut. I'm going to enjoy watching maga go through 2025. Yep, I voted for Harris. On January 1st 2026 _all_ Boomers meet the age requirement to apply for Social Security retirement. Yep, I'm in my early 60s as well. Is this a great country, or what?
Yeah always trying to compete with cali. Texas got lucky with the oil fields if it wasnt for that they will be just like its neighbors, Mississippi ,arkansas oklahoma and the rest of the dirty south.
What kills me is when you can’t make the payments anymore. They keep adding interest alone with late fees and my question is if I can’t make the first original minimum payment. What make you think I can make the that same payment with extra fees attached with it now
Because prices went up so high there its as expensive as the East Coast now. And i left Houston and moved to Rhode Island. Not having a state tax is not really helpful anymore anyway. And what jobs? I was laid off from Oil and Gas and was not able to find a job that paid so i had no choice but to leave.
As a born and raised Texas: Man have I have really gotten tired of hearing this. "Our property taxes are so high. Taxes in Texas are terrible". You guys are a broken record. Everyone says that like nobody has ever heard it. Everyone who's ever talked to a Texas homeowner has heard it... endlessly. Stop saying it. The average effective tax rate in Texas is almost at the bottom nationwide. Your overall taxes are low not high. Everyone just thinks paying one large bill is worse than paying the same amount in dozens of smaller bills. You're forgetting that Texas doesn't have a lot of large taxes other places do like a state income tax. You wouldn't even be happy if they did lower them. How do I know? Because they already did. They did it last legislative session and you're still complaining!
Says the man where his bills come to his mommy’s house. I open my tax bills you don’t. Can’t find a one in the past four years where it says your taxes will be lower this year. If you want to claim Texas is so great keep the lights on year round and stop making excuses why you can’t. So sorry to hear you were born stupid, I mean a Texan.
They will vote Republican again and again. To win elections in this state, just say the lord's name in vain to galvanize voters. ( This is table flipping stuff) If you know you know 😉.
So other words they want you to think they helping you out. But still sticking it to you while the interest is still being applied and building up on that card
Considering Caleb Hammer’s Financial channel is based in Texas and he seems to have an unlimited number of people on his show making terrible financial decisions, I’m not surprised.
How does legalized pot keep individuals from going bankrupt. The story isn't about state finances, its about individual people going into debt in the state.
@damham5689 if we had more money ciculating in our economy, by legalization all the other states would love to have some TEXAS bud. But since people like you dont understand that a economy boost would give more jobs because there would be more money circulating. Banning hemp like they are trying to do just to get a fake reason to search, its not good for our state or economy. They want jail , not jobs. The people wont profit but the government will, clear unuff for you.
@damham5689 ok since, you dont know , if they legalize bud , there will be money circulating our economy here in Texas, they want to keep it illegal just to have a reason to search your vehicle, making it legal with make us money and jobs , not arrests by making it completely illegal, they want jails instead of jobs, the government wants to put people in jail to help there job system, instead whats good for the people. Jobs and circulating monetary systems to help better our economy.
😂😂 more like florida who you kidding. No one wants to live in texas people are actually leaving once they find out is terrible. Ugly beaches ugly weather,

@damham5689 ok since, you dont know , if they legalize bud , there will be money circulating our economy here in Texas, they want to keep it illegal just to have a reason to search your vehicle, making it legal with make us money and jobs , not arrests by making it completely illegal, they want jails instead of jobs, the government wants to put people in jail to help there job system, instead whats good for the people. Jobs and circulating monetary systems to help better our economy.
@@damham5689 Because then they'll care even less.

Border state…
Thanks Biden/Harris; maybe 2025 we will see a turnaround
The #1 state
You would think Hawaii would be #1 with Maui fire expensive gas and food.
Oregon is the #1 state with homeless families on the street.
😂😂. Texas is not going to be far behind soon.
There’s a lot of homeless people
In Dallas, but they moved them out to field/I guess a camp. But it’s hundreds of people from what I last saw.
well, rent n housing costs has rise....due to Californians coming here n buying n renting overly expensive properties n wages have stayed low 😮
It's because there is a lot of basketball players in Texas.
