Recession will hit when everyone stops talking about it and gives in to the markets.

credit card debt is lower in real terms over the past few years.

What's the difference between real terms and people reporting "consumer debt is at all time high"? I know nothing.

Consumer income and net worth are also at all time highs. So debt/income or debt/net worth may not be as significant as the fear mongers want you to believe.

Everyone has been predicting a recession is 'right around the corner' since May 2022. That was basically one year ago. There's always something that conveniently gets in the way to 'delay' the recession.
Go back and look at experts predictions over the past year. Hell, even people on this board. It went from late 2022, to early 2023, to fall 2023, to late 2023, and shite even now the economists got frustrated and just say 2024
It's always 6 months or 9 months from right now. Right now changes though with each passing week.

The media is pushing the recession agenda hard. If you can’t see the reason, you’re blind.
Big recession 2023 and into early 2024. Story line is that Sleepy Joe pulls us out of major recession and has something to run on for re-election.

That was my point. I believe it was predicted as early as end of 2021. Now its 2024

Really? I was just spit balling. With the high prices, I assumed more folks were buy now pay later.

I don't see how you reach that conclusion.

2022 - $880
2023 (week ending April 5) - $976

FRED - Real Wages Real wages have been pretty much stagnant since Q4 2021.

The levels don't matter, its the fact that its been going up and that is what has been driving the continued spending by pumping money into the economy, it has to eventually flatten out or drop and that will reduce spending.

If they weren't pushing a recession, it would be because they are defending a democratic admin, but since they are pushing it, its so they can claim credit for it later?

Yep. People always have to have their simpleton political stuff no matter what the subject/data

Cumulative wages are up 20% since 2020. It may be disproportionate to classes but that’s how the cookie crumbles.
Josh Brown has a post going into this.

I have to wonder. I know low-end wages shot up like a rocket in the wake of COVID to entice workers to come back to the work force, no idea what it looks(ed) on the upper end.

Got a link? I would enjoy reading up on it a bit more (and my Google-Fu is apparently lacking).

Thanks!
After tinkering with various charts and numbers, I think they are using 1982-1984 CPI Adjusted numbers (and that's a little outside of my knowledge base).
