I think there's plenty of this and see it firsthand. My wife and I are probably top 15% in income. We drive an 8 year old truck and a Honda Accord. There are plenty of people in our income bracket that have 80k Tahoes.

Prime customers have credit scores between 661-780, while super prime customers have scores between 781-850,


One thing I am never sure about with comparisons to prior years with scores or ratings is did it get caught up in the inequity and systematic racism political BS and become inflated to help “solve” inequities.

Regardless all that cut USAID and other decreased govt spending that had been going to various types of NGOs headed by Dems on top of student loans repayments no longer being a political bribe are likely hurting some right now.

I took on an extra job in November. I paid my vehicle off in April, and I started applying that money to the principal on my mortgage along with living on a strict budget. I should have my mortgage paid off by April or May at this current pace.

seems like ever week for the past decade we've had some "dire" data come out.


I guess one day it will be the real deal.

It is "fake" data.

In other words, real data that is twisted to make things look a certain way. Weak sauce...


Only 3.05% of Americans are delinquent.

Only 46% carry balance, and many those dont perpetually carry a balance. And most balances are under $10K.

Every time I see people I know with the garage full of toys, the boat and the 3 kids in private school take their $15K family vacation, I’m wondering how long it’ll be before they’re defaulting.


Agreed, but I feel like I’ve been saying this for the last 10yrs.

We're waiting to buy here in Charleston as well, have been for over 2 years, and I think I'm starting to see things turn in favor of buyers a bit. Heading out to look at some places tomorrow but likely waiting it out for a while longer.


We had been looking for houses in Mount Pleasant for over a year. Houses we liked were $800+ for a 1500-200 square foot house, just ridiculous. Lower priced larger houses were in need of $150-$200k of upgrades. We just closed on house near Greenville instead. May relook at Charleston in about 4-5 years when I'm ready to retire. It's an expensive place to live.

Ohio just made the top 5 states in foreclosure: 1,800+ properties are in foreclosure which is about 5.3% of all homes for sale.

Are you trying to say that consumer debt has not been rising fast?

Collectively, Americans have added over $1T in non mortgage household debt since Covid. We now sit at $5T in non mortgage household debt.

Balances are growing, and while delinquencies are still low, 3% are simply not able to pay, and that number is up 40% in 4 years. Half are carrying balances—these are indicators of cracks forming in the dam.

Did I say that? No.

Do you disagree with anything I posted?


I tend to put more weight on default/delinquency rates as indicators of consumer economic health.

Most of us use CCs for everything so as a snapshot, debt can appear to be a high numbet.

Additionally, homes, cars, white goods, all cost more, so wouldn't we expect household debt to increase?

Now, do CC rates pre-2019.

Delinquency rates were at historic lows in 21,22 due to all Covid money, so yes, now they ate rising again.

And yet, still around 3%.
