The U.S. Now Has:
1. Record $16.5 trillion in household debt
2. Record $11.9 trillion in mortgages
3. Record $1.6 trillion in auto loans
4. Record $986 billion in credit card debt
Total mortgage debt is now more than double the 2006 peak.
Meanwhile, 36% of Americans have more credit card debt than savings with balances rising at the fastest pace since 1999.
This is all while mortgage rates just hit 7.1% and credit card debt rates hit a record 24.9%.
We are "fighting" inflation with debt.
This can't end well.
