    America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..

      This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

    The US economy cannot survive without continuous credit and debt creation. The FED will print more money and the average American will go just that much further in debt. Meanwhile, foreigners lust for the greenback. Their economies are in worse condition than the US... if that's even possible. Someone is going to be left holding the bag...

      I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over 1.5 million dollars working with an investment coach for more than two years.

      I agree 100 percent!. You make 1 payment late in a year, and your score drops 20-30 points! You pay on time for months after that initial late payment and your score either doesn't move or goes up 1-2 points. My son paid off his car loan. Had an 800 score . His score dropped 30 plus points because he paid off his vehicle!!

    There's only possible ways why an individual would choose that answer:
    1. I overspent consciously knowing how much I could afford on non essential things (video games, alcohol, entertainment)
    2. I overspent consciously how much I could afford on essential things (groceries, rent, gas).

This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions.

      I’ve worked for state governments in three different states. Hiring wages are low when compared with private sector jobs, but Federal Government jobs do pay better. Federal jobs are a tough nut to crack. I, at one point, tried to get interviewed for a federal job without success. I finally went to the office of my US Representative in Congress and spoke with an aide to the congressman. A month or so later I was sent a letter indicating who to contact and to let him know if I encountered difficulties. It was signed by the congressman. By that time I had already secured a satisfactory position elsewhere and didn’t follow up further. Federal jobs are like being in a club and they restrict access. But once you’ve gained access, you have access to other government jobs that you would never hear about otherwise.

    While I agree with a lot of what is said here, we need to consider one's upbringing. For instance, when PBD says, "You chose to go buy those gifts for Christmas you couldn't afford to buy," sometimes it's a single mother who just wants to see her children happy. And she would take on all the debt in the world if it meant her kids were smiling at Christmas. Not because she was "terrible with money" but because she didn't have parents or mentors (like I imagine most of this cast did) to teach her about money and how to manage it, invest, etc. So while logically speaking, BNPL is a terrible idea (and trust me, I think credit card companies are the scum of the Earth), it's important to remember not everyone was fortunate enough to be taught how to manage money growing up.

Instead of buying groceries for the week and fixing meals that can last a couple days they go to McDonalds where I say they print money every hour. Wasn't for people to spend foolishly like this McDonalds would be out of business.A package of overpriced hot dogs and buns or bologna and loaf of bread can go a long way if you don't have the money.
