Quoting: - NEO - Now people use credit... The whole damn system is coming down.... I wonder when people will realize To be honest, we had our first little one during the pandemic. In order to keep my wife from having to take the beastly jab or submit to weekly tests (that she would have to drive in for even though working fully from home), we exercised her contract right to unpaid leave. At the same time, all these supply chain issues popped up and we bought a house free and clear to escape the big city Covid apartment nightmare. Long story short, I’ve run up the credit card making sure my little girl has all she needs for the foreseeable future, that our pantry and freezers are stocked (and able to run in an outage), and that we have the house at least minimally furnished. It’s racked up. Some days the debt stresses me out, but we don’t have a mortgage and at least I know I have what my family needs. |

Exactly karma comes to those who do with intent deception of any kind. Stay pure & stay reaping dharma. I'm not so sure that is accurate. Remember the line about a mule stuck in a mire--you do what you gotta do. I'm sort of out of the rat race and don't have to worry about CC debt--I make money off the bastards. 10 years ago I was in the mess many millions are in now. What are you to do if you no longer have the funds to live even a reduced life style due to no fault of your own? Being decent does not pay off. During the Obumer depression my income fell by almost 40%--and I was lucky in my area. I heard about people having their credit lines cut. I did not think that would happen to me--had over a 800 score. Well, it did--it just took them a few months to get around to me. 150 G's of credit with a little under 20% utilization was slashed to about what I owed. One card, from Chase, had zero balance--50's worth cancelled with one notice "You do not need this credit". As I paid the others down, my credit line was reduced to the new balance. I went from being able to weather a financial storm lasting years to wondering how I was going to keep my house and feed my kids. Evil is real, and it runs the USA. You think Jesus is going to give a rats ass if you say "fuck you" to the degenerates? I don't. Still, I would advise people to be reasonable on the splurges--bankruptcy laws are not as generous as they used to be. Plan ahead and don't let your last assets melt away--keep a few months of cash--hidden-not in a fucking bank. |

Gas cost me $500! I will pay it off this month though without touching my savings. Saving isn't working well. You can't get much interest. If you invest, good luck. All my investments have been shit since Biden 'won.' A lot of people were vacationing? I think people are ready to exhale a bit. Covid is the worst thing I can remember happening to America. I think it knocked the sense out of a lot of people. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 81993318 United States 05/07/2022 01:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Shocking Consumer Credit Numbers: Everyone Is Maxing Out Their Credit Card Ahead Of The Recession [link to www.zerohedge.com (secure)] Quoting: Don Draper from Nantucket While it is traditionally viewed as a B-grade indicator, the March consumer credit report from the Federal Reserve was an absolute shocked and confirmed what we have been saying for month: any excess savings accumulated by the US middle class are long gone, and in their place Americans have unleashed a credit-card fueled spending spree. Here are the shocking numbers: in March, one month after the February print already came in more than double the $18 billion expected, consumer credit exploded to an absolutely blowout $52.435 billion, again more than double the expected $25 billion print, and the highest on record! And while non-revolving credit (student and car loans) rose by a relatively pedestrian 21.1 billion (which was still the 6th highest on record)... the real stunner was revolving, or credit card debt, which more than doubled from the already elevated February print of $14.2 billion to a stunning $31.4 billion, the highest print on record... just in time for those credit card APR to starting moving higher, first slowly and then very fast. While this unprecedented rush to buy everything on credit at a time when there were no notable Hallmark holidays should not come as much of a surprise, after all we have repeatedly shown that for the middle class any "excess savings" are now gone, long gone... LOL and yet so many idiots here think the housing won't crash. |

Now is not a good time to have too much cash in the banks, i pulled mine out and purchased physical silver ready to use when we get a digital only money conversion. |
