Joe Biden and democrats have destroyed the USA. There is no coming back from this without democrats out of office everywhere. Democrats will continue to destroy America from within if real Americans do not stop them.

Everyone knows it's all coming down soon anyway so might as well max out the credit.

Worse case scenario? They declare bankruptcy & they're debt free again.

Saving are gone.

Now people use credit...

The whole damn system is coming down.... I wonder when people will realize
 Quoting: - NEO -


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.

A path is currently being paved for hyper-inflation and not a correction/collapse. If entities offer forbearance programs, capitalized interest alone will make them billions upon billions.

Got plenty of savings. Over half a million to be exact. But lately every new savings account I try to open (my others are at the 250k fdic backing limit) I get rejected.

How are people to save if all the banks reject you from opening an account?

Pretty sure that if it's really bad, and people feel they have nothing left to lose, that these creditors will have to bring SWAT teams with them, to collect.

People can't be that hard up. Homes are still flying off the market with all cash offers. Most are actual people buying them, or at least in this area. 50% higher than they were just a couple of years ago. Somebody's gotta have some cash.

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.

I am actually carrying some debt right now from a recent trip.
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.

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...

The hyper inflated $USD buys less and less each day thanks to free money printing by both Trump and Biden (Banker puppets) and silly low saving rates mean cheap money on loan.

China is using COVID bullshit to lock down exports because they don't want to hold $$$ that are worth less and less in exchange for goods so electrical goods for sale will soon start to run out.

if you need a washing machine or want a new TV then now is the time to get one and if that means using the credit card then so be it.

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.
