      @@3smoke During the Great Depression, little credit was extended - that's true - but that was largely in response to stock market crash/ bank failures, due to huge amounts of (eventually unpaid/ defaulted) credit which was extended in late 1920s. Lots of credit was given then, via loans/ installment payments/ "margin buying", which led many to speculate in the stock market/ buy furniture/ houses, etc - with very little down. Contributed to "house of cards".

In 2008 it happened again and nobody ever thought they were going to own homes again and the end of the country was coming. Recessions come and go. it's how it's always been. Just make good choices though it, like you should have saved money, not takin out big auto loans, and running up credit card debt. And don't tell me people can't afford food. Americans own and buy so much shit compared to any other society, they can do without most it. And they eat too much to begin with so lessen the calories.

    The government is all to blame for this. They gave stimulus so everyone increased their prices. Government gives tax credits for EV’s their prices skyrocketed. Government paying off student loans so college costs go up 9%. Government force Resturants to increase wages so those costs go up.

    once people get used to not paying for anything, they just want to continue paying nothing.

    I have zero CC debt, 820 Credit score… but I don’t own a home. I don’t have a car payment, my car is 14 years old, hoping to keep it going. For now , I’m concentrating my daughter’s full tuition bill to avoid her having loans when she graduates in two years. I plan to help her also pay down the federal loans. I want her to have a clean slate when she graduates. I’m 52 now, I hope I can heavily invest when she is done with school and have a shot at living a simple life at retirement. I can only hope….

      I don’t think so. People are holding on to their homes because rent is more expensive. Maybe if student debt is really bad that the government starts garnishing wages. But that’s about it.

    Been saving and investing for 27 years... the American dream is alive and well. People cannot sacrifice to save their lives and have ZERO idea about money management. People need to learn the difference between NEEDS and WANTS.
