Even in the 2008 financial crisis, this ratio peaked at ~39%.

This comes as total household debt just hit a record $17.1 trillion, credit card debt crossed $1 trillion for the first time ever, the outstanding federal student loan balance is $1.645 trillion and student loan payments are set to resume in October.

Consumers are borrowing at a record pace all while savings are declining and rates are rising.

Loans were all stated income so there is no way thats actually true

Our dollars are worth 75% of what they were worth in January 2021. If that. This is the natural result of that.

Not all loans were stated but I get your point

Don't forget there were also loans allowing you to borrow 110% against the homes value

Sure am glad we don't allow that anymore

Oh wait...VA and FHA do allow that on rehab loans

The upcoming collapse is what the democrats want. It's going to wipe out the middle class.

At least the POTUS enjoys pudding and ice cream on a regular basis.

I agree. It's coming and sooner than most are thinking. I wish I knew what it was going to look like.

They’ll have to lower interest rates to keep the system from collapsing.

They allow you to borrow up to 110% of the home's projected remodeled value with only 3.5% down.

They still have stated income loans too. I know this because it was offered to me.

There is also a loan that now allows everyone living in the household to be counted in the DTI calculations whether they are on the mortgage or not. They brought this back a few years ago.
