The US economy cannot survive without continuous credit and debt creation. The FED will print more money and the average American will go just that much further in debt. Meanwhile, foreigners lust for the greenback. Their economies are in worse condition than the US... if that's even possible. Someone is going to be left holding the bag...
Hearing from an experienced investor who has survived adversity and prevailed is always motivating. It may be frightening when your portfolio goes from green to red, but if you have invested in strong firms, you should maintain growing them and stick to your goal.

America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..
Every day we have a new problem. It's the new normal. At first we thought it was a crisis, now we know it's a new normal and we have to adapt. this year will be a year of severe economic pain all over the nation.. what steps can we take to generate more income during quantitative adjustment?I can't afford my hard-earned 180k savings to turn to dust

During the 12 years of 'education', most people receive in America, when are students taught about money? It's no wonder they're in the position they're in.
When American students are taught about $ in K-12 = When they learn it from their parents at home or teach themselves when they start working and getting paid for it or start saving for a big purchase in high school or Never. It's not taught inside the schools unless you're the 1 kid who figured out how to sell something to other kids and run a profitable business. 😂
Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

Statistically speaking, the answer: "Spent more than I can afford" is incomplete and needs further stratification. There's only possible ways why an individual would choose that answer: 1. I overspent consciously knowing how much I could afford on non essential things (video games, alcohol, entertainment) 2. I overspent consciously how much I could afford on essential things (groceries, rent, gas). While a lot of people may be illiterate on personal finances, you guys (PBD podcast) have discussed topics on how the current state of the US economy is impacting the lower and middle class, thus making your analogy incomplete still.
People feel like hamsters on that exercise wheel. You keep moving your feet, and can't slow down or everything falls apart. No raise at work due to high costs, groceries, gas, medical, taxes, fees, everything going up. Credit is the only way to pay the Dr & medicine when you get sick, just so you don't miss work being sick. When rent goes up or landlord sells......your're homeless.
My wife and I have completely rid ourselves of any credit card debt with the exception of one that is interest free until end of next year. The only debt we have is on our house, one of our cars and my student loans which all have fixed interest rates. The credit card interest rates are out of control.
Same. But you those zero percent purchases can get out of hand too. We replaced our ac and washer/dryer on zero percent and I hate having it hang over our heads. But it does allow us to get 5.5% on our savings as we pay.
I think it's sad now that I can't tell if someone is being facetious or a genuine window licker. I'm going to give Ryan the benefit of the doubt and say he's being a funny guy.

Part of the problem is massive inflation which occurred over the last 4 years. The other part is a large percentage of Americans living way above their means because they are trying to keep up with the Joneses.
US Government has set up a good example to its citizens who just omitted learning that they don't have FED to print money and accept their checks/IOUs.

This has actually been one of the best things for me and help me survive. But I strictly stick to the paying for methods not karna that lets you drag it out for a year. And I don't know how many people get in so much trouble because if you perceivedly can't make the payment every two weeks, then don't do it. I've had to get tools and equipment to work on my car that I couldn't afford all at once so I used paying four and it helped me on the front end and then that I didn't have to pay somebody $300 to do my breaks. I just did them for 80 bucks myself.
Yes, I'm on SSI and used affirm to buy needed items at times such as tires, auto parts I couldn't afford paying for all at once. If you use it responsibly you have no trouble.
I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

Pardon me for going off topic, after watching Tulsi on Joe Rogan about the horrific lack of real help from the Government for the people of maui , and how the situation their is no longer being talked about.

Compound interest should be banned, and there should be much more strict regulations on lending and related products. It’s destroying our society. You cannot separate morality from economics.
I stupidly bought a wet saw so I could do a job. I ended up not paying off the entire loan when I finished the job. Took a loss, and I'm still trying to pay off the loan. I put all the blame on myself, I got the loan hoping for the best. Im not shifting blame but maybe not let these loans happen as frequent
I’m glad I live the cash life. I learned a long time ago to live within my means. When I bought my house as a divorcee, I could have bought a bigger house but reality set in and I realize I was going to be an emptinester soon and I bought the affordable house not the bigger house.
I strongly disagree w their credit score take, the whole concept of credit scores is bullshit. I mean a shitty parent can put their electric bill in their 5 year old name, go delinquent, and that kid turns 18 and finds out he’s got a credit score of 388. It shouldn’t exist.
Exactly, its worse then a social credit score, this is a complete scamm, start paying outright with a debit card.......they hatw it when you know exactly what goes in and out
Credit scores are a scam in themselves. You miss 1 payment in a year and your score drops 20-30 points! You pay on time for months after that initial late payment and your score either doesn't move or goes up 1-2 points. My son paid off his car loan. Had an 800 score . His score dropped 20 points because he paid off his vehicle!!
Salaries aren’t rising in America. Government employees are underpaid over 27% and I’m sure the same for private sector , how can anyone save money right now ? It’s a joke
I’ve worked for state governments in three different states. Hiring wages are low when compared with private sector jobs, but Federal Government jobs do pay better. Federal jobs are a tough nut to crack. I, at one point, tried to get interviewed for a federal job without success. I finally went to the office of my US Representative in Congress and spoke with an aide to the congressman. A month or so later I was sent a letter indicating who to contact and to let him know if I encountered difficulties. It was signed by the congressman. By that time I had already secured a satisfactory position elsewhere and didn’t follow up further. Federal jobs are like being in a club and they restrict access. But once you’ve gained access, you have access to other government jobs that you would never hear about otherwise.
I owe $1200 between Klarna and Affirm. I bought needed furniture. Affirm changed 35% interest. The only way I can reduce interest is to pay it off early. That is hard to do. The payments feel like garnishments to my checking account
Every American should borrow against credit and all default. Everyone in the us should stop paying thd bills. Watch what happens. We are more powerful than we think.
Stop blaming all of us for overspending. The paycheck isn’t enough anymore. I don’t have a car payment or student loan and I STILL have to use a credit card for food and medical because the utilities are so high. No other option.
I'd suggest these folks are just struggling to stay above water. What should they do? People do strange things when in crisis, thank you, Joey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You must address the fact that the credit reporting agencies constantly send consumers emails and text alerts selling them new credit cards...and Personal loans.. This is predatory .. The credit agencies are bad actors all the way around.
The masses and government don’t know how to manage money. I drive by a 200k welcome sign on the side of the interstate everyday. Such a waste of taxes. It’s not even a state welcome sign, it’s a sign for an unofficial community.
Do you know what Bodine people are hurting-financially spendings out of control because everything cost so much. Get a clue you sitting up there with your TH-cam money which is great. I’m happy for you but don’t look down on people that are struggling and they might use lines of credit to live off of or pay other vital bills
In the end that's destructive however appealing it looks early on. Unwise spending is very common, like poor folks wasting money wearing someone else's hair or buying expensive vehicles on credit. I used to fix cars for a used car lot and that destroyed any respect I used to have for consumer intelligence. Except for farmers and tradies buying work trucks most folks really are mindless consumers who buy toys they don't need to impress people who don't care about them. The smart folks don't stay poor for long but most people waste time entertaining themselves with trifles instead of constantly self-educating.
Interest rates have enslaved people. These predatory rates we see nowadays are ridiculous. I thank God that I have managed to pay off my credit card wevery month during covid, and since then as well.
This is not only in the USA - but a global issue. I call it CONVENIENCE LIVING or Keeping Up With The Joneses. - Friend has new phone, so the old Buy Now Pay Later Pops Up - free money to get things now :( Later the costs are double or triple the price paid.
Not with Klarna and its not really global. In the US its a double whammy because you people dont know how to spend what you actually have. If we globally ban credit cards, then the US would tank within a day. Not so much my countey, where you cant even do groceries with a credit card, only with debit......aka actual money that you have
@@SWOTHDRA Yes in my country they are also pushing for Cashless Society too - however there are so many ways to get credit on purchases. Not just major purchases but for disposable items. There are so many other ways people get into debt. Pay Day Loans or those Buy Now - Pay Later Deals. are the next demon in many family incomes & whilst I have never used them have seen people get burned on fees. Cash Advances via credit cards to buy daily living supplies is also credit. Decades ago I bought my first IBM PC - It was interest free but had some fees for 12 interest free credit. I had it paid off in 3 months but the fees were horrendous. My friend got the same deal but with late fees & other costs he paid a 50% penalty. As a veteran accountant & volunteer financial counsellor, things are getting worse. Companies are going up globally but people are still wanting the same lifestyle. I have not worked for wages for some 30+ years but I recall the struggles of counting every dollar too.
Spoken like true entrepreneurs. We advertise to you the ppl and now it your fault we spent billions on advertising directed at you and now it’s your fault. WOW.
The result of people not saving and investing for their future will be the government trying to take anything I want to pass down. Im 37. It's time to figure out what happens if I croak. How can I minimize "inheritance" taxes for my daughter
The problem is most people don’t understand and/or follow one simple skill… How to balance a budget. Most people spend everything they make and do not live within their means. One emergency 🚨 and it’s over. The government is the same way, just fyi
The banks( money lenders) love it - if you can’t pay,no problem your kids can, no can’t,no worries you Grand kids can- the banks love , keep paying back for ever
I used affirm a few times finally paid off the last one early have 3 credit cards left then it's just my mortgage never again will I have consumer debt
It's like the subprime mortgage fiasco. Where are the monies coming from to fund these fly by night BNPLs? That requires massive capital investment. You need to dig back beyond the superficial consumer financial layer to see the real risk. It's the banks financing bad debt. Again!
All my family members with bad credit take out these buy now pay later loans and they never pay. Their debt then gets sold to a debt collector, and they just hang up on them every time. I love to see it. 😂
Oh, so Adam can generalize all of us Latinos as being "pobrecito Latino"? Ok, I believe you just gave us an example to follow, and we can, from now on, generalize all jews... got it!
6 figure earner with comfortable savings - I always do buy now pay later. Free interest on purchases spread out over a month; if the purchase is reasonable and you have the funds, it’s a no brainer.
Payed off my credit cards today only time I used them was for a rainy day when I was transitioning jobs. I will never use credit lines and cards again. I’d rather keep a mediocre credit score build it up with small loans, as appeased to it dropping 30 points every time I swipe a card. Americans making poor financial choices.
I'm worried what's gonna happen in 20 or 30 years when social security is tapped out and people who never invested or even really paid into social security are to old to work
While I agree with a lot of what is said here, we need to consider one's upbringing. For instance, when PBD says, "You chose to go buy those gifts for Christmas you couldn't afford to buy," sometimes it's a single mother who just wants to see her children happy. And she would take on all the debt in the world if it meant her kids were smiling at Christmas. Not because she was "terrible with money" but because she didn't have parents or mentors (like I imagine most of this cast did) to teach her about money and how to manage it, invest, etc. So while logically speaking, BNPL is a terrible idea (and trust me, I think credit card companies are the scum of the Earth), it's important to remember not everyone was fortunate enough to be taught how to manage money growing up.
This is a remarkably uninformed conversation. BNPL has significantly lower delinquency rates relative to credit card companies. Affirm has consistently shrunk its delinquency rates through some of the most advanced and actively managed risk modeling there is… their delinquency rate is 2.3%. BNPL is displacing traditional credit cards because it’s far more favorable for creditworthy borrowers who are essentially financing large purchases with di minimis interest or penalties. Do you prefer your 20%+ interest credit card?
You can see how these people get in debt is when You are in line at drive through at McDonalds and see people using their credit card to pay for their families dinner with the credit card. It has to be a minimum of $ 30.00 a time and how many times do they do it weekly ? Instead of buying groceries for the week and fixing meals that can last a couple days they go to McDonalds where I say they print money every hour. Wasn't for people to spend foolishly like this McDonalds would be out of business.A package of overpriced hot dogs and buns or bologna and loaf of bread can go a long way if you don't have the money. Spend within your means and once a while buy a good meal at a restaurant but don;t hit fast food restaurant several times a week. Pretty Simple that our parents taught us to save and spend what You can afford and only use Credit Cards in case of an emergency .
Same thing with houses. Ppl buying after they added $100k on houses after Covid. And I know ppl who still get approved for a loan up to $300k. And they only make $77k combined. Then they all want new trucks and cars. I get that we all need cars and homes. But the math don’t add up. I have a buddy who got a boat and new $80k truck and wife’s new jeep. They been living on credit cards and banking on Over time. No more OT. And now he wants to sell truck and jeep and boat. Bro, but that’s the majority of ppl I know

Aww no they weren’t taught that in school
When American students are taught about $ in K-12 = When they learn it from their parents at home or teach themselves when they start working and getting paid for it or start saving for a big purchase in high school or Never.
It's not taught inside the schools unless you're the 1 kid who figured out how to sell something to other kids and run a profitable business. 😂
The only context money is taught in public schools is how to make change at the cash register.
Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the Dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.
With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions. Consider a similar approach.
this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
Linda Aretha Reeves is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment
I appreciate this. Out of curiosity i searched her name online and reviewed her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.
Sounds like the system is working as intended

Although I have interests in global economics I don't watch the news anymore... I have enough FUD lol. Thanks for this news and offering your insight on how to navigate during unfortunate times/events like this. You're right about keeping level headed when investing so that's why I think it's important to limit the amount of FUD we consume. I don't watch the media but the news that you present has enough to know issues going on without riding the emotional rollercoaster if I were to watch the news everyday.

It all comes back to government spending and money printing

Statistically speaking, the answer: "Spent more than I can afford" is incomplete and needs further stratification.
There's only possible ways why an individual would choose that answer:
1. I overspent consciously knowing how much I could afford on non essential things (video games, alcohol, entertainment)
2. I overspent consciously how much I could afford on essential things (groceries, rent, gas).
While a lot of people may be illiterate on personal finances, you guys (PBD podcast) have discussed topics on how the current state of the US economy is impacting the lower and middle class, thus making your analogy incomplete still.
Hey reminds me of the 2008 crash all over again.
I'm reminded of the word "subprime"
People feel like hamsters on that exercise wheel. You keep moving your feet, and can't slow down or everything falls apart. No raise at work due to high costs, groceries, gas, medical, taxes, fees, everything going up. Credit is the only way to pay the Dr & medicine when you get sick, just so you don't miss work being sick. When rent goes up or landlord sells......your're homeless.
My wife and I have completely rid ourselves of any credit card debt with the exception of one that is interest free until end of next year.
The only debt we have is on our house, one of our cars and my student loans which all have fixed interest rates.
The credit card interest rates are out of control.
Same. But you those zero percent purchases can get out of hand too. We replaced our ac and washer/dryer on zero percent and I hate having it hang over our heads. But it does allow us to get 5.5% on our savings as we pay.
So you are still in debt, dont talk pls

Part of the problem is massive inflation which occurred over the last 4 years. The other part is a large percentage of Americans living way above their means because they are trying to keep up with the Joneses.
If you've ever been SSI of SSDI you learn really quick how to budget and know what you can and can't buy.
US Government has set up a good example to its citizens who just omitted learning that they don't have FED to print money and accept their checks/IOUs.
It's a lay-a-way plan of sorts in my perspective
But what % of Americans are using bnpl? Something I read says it’s up 56% this year. Not good. What does this lead to?
I love this content. It’s life changing for a man in the pursuit of happiness and financial freedom. It all humbleness I can’t not tell you how Adam’s commentary takes away from this platform. I’ve been quiet for 2 years. He lost me after his slick Latin accent.
This has actually been one of the best things for me and help me survive. But I strictly stick to the paying for methods not karna that lets you drag it out for a year. And I don't know how many people get in so much trouble because if you perceivedly can't make the payment every two weeks, then don't do it. I've had to get tools and equipment to work on my car that I couldn't afford all at once so I used paying four and it helped me on the front end and then that I didn't have to pay somebody $300 to do my breaks. I just did them for 80 bucks myself.
Yes, I'm on SSI and used affirm to buy needed items at times such as tires, auto parts I couldn't afford paying for all at once. If you use it responsibly you have no trouble.
Thank you, finally someone talking sense. People should take responsibility for their own actions, like getting themselves into debt....
I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.
Numerous opportunities exist to achieve substantial profits at present, but executing high-volume and nearly flawless trades requires the expertise of real-time professionals with an ISDA Agreement. This agreement allows investors to participate in sophisticated trades, exclusive to seasoned individuals, and unavailable to amateurs. Attempting to be a high-stakes trader without an ISDA is akin to trying to win the Indy 500 riding a llama.
I'm sure the idea of an invstment-Adviser might sound controversial to a few, but a new study by Motley-fool found out that demand for Financial-Advisers sky-rocketed by over 42% since the pandemic and based on firsthand encounter I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch. I've accrued north of 580k within 16-months from an initially stagnant Portf0lio worth 85k.
Inflation is over 10% , but as we know it's definitely way more than the Government would like to admit. My plan is to earn more passive income and ride this out, can your Investment-adviser assist?
Well, there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I’ve been with 'MICHELE KATHERINE SINGH' for the last five years or so, and her returns have been pretty much amazing.

More people are living paycheck to paycheck Adam
Most people who work have some type of retirement account.
@@sthubbins4038 some people do. Not all Businesses offer 401k retirement accounts to their employees. I mean unless the Employee has their own IRA retirement account but most people don't have that. So yeah a lot of people do live paycheck to paycheck unfortunately.
@sthubbins4038 retirement 🤣 🤣🤣
You got jokes.
Just looked it up. 55.4% of Americans have an invested retirement account.
@sthubbins4038 having a retirement account doesnt mean you have crap in it, nor does it mean you can retire🙄
ya im constantly seeing people online complaining about how they work full time and cant afford to live. yet, everywhere i go i see businesses that sell non-staple product and services being busy. is it harder due to inflation? yes. but 95% of people dont even think about all of the unnecessary things they spend money on. people also act like income is based on luck too. our society has pushed out personal responsibility, which is a huge problem
Pardon me for going off topic, after watching Tulsi on Joe Rogan about the horrific lack of real help from the Government for the people of maui , and how the situation their is no longer being talked about. Our Government is so quick to assist other countries but slow and sometimes unresponsive to taking care of Americans and the lack of any accountability of their actions or lack there of.
Right, its sad to see all this unfold.
gov caused the maui incident, why would they help them? lol, catch up.
Dang it Tom! Stop calling me out!! 😂

Compound interest should be banned, and there should be much more strict regulations on lending and related products. It’s destroying our society. You cannot separate morality from economics.
Ban credit cards
I stupidly bought a wet saw so I could do a job. I ended up not paying off the entire loan when I finished the job. Took a loss, and I'm still trying to pay off the loan. I put all the blame on myself, I got the loan hoping for the best. Im not shifting blame but maybe not let these loans happen as frequent
If you couldn't have gotten the loan you'd be mad as well.
I’m glad I live the cash life. I learned a long time ago to live within my means.
When I bought my house as a divorcee, I could have bought a bigger house but reality set in and I realize I was going to be an emptinester soon and I bought the affordable house not the bigger house.
I strongly disagree w their credit score take, the whole concept of credit scores is bullshit. I mean a shitty parent can put their electric bill in their 5 year old name, go delinquent, and that kid turns 18 and finds out he’s got a credit score of 388. It shouldn’t exist.
Exactly, its worse then a social credit score, this is a complete scamm, start paying outright with a debit card.......they hatw it when you know exactly what goes in and out
Credit scores are a scam in themselves. You miss 1 payment in a year and your score drops 20-30 points! You pay on time for months after that initial late payment and your score either doesn't move or goes up 1-2 points. My son paid off his car loan. Had an 800 score . His score dropped 20 points because he paid off his vehicle!!
Salaries aren’t rising in America. Government employees are underpaid over 27% and I’m sure the same for private sector , how can anyone save money right now ? It’s a joke
While the gov't all give themselves a 21% raise every time Ukraine gets a new package. So of course they do not feel the crunch.
Government employees underpaid? Huh?
@@JeffPresley-un8ox correct. 27.54% to be exact
The actual workers are very underpaid. @@JeffPresley-un8ox
I’ve worked for state governments in three different states. Hiring wages are low when compared with private sector jobs, but Federal Government jobs do pay better. Federal jobs are a tough nut to crack. I, at one point, tried to get interviewed for a federal job without success. I finally went to the office of my US Representative in Congress and spoke with an aide to the congressman. A month or so later I was sent a letter indicating who to contact and to let him know if I encountered difficulties. It was signed by the congressman. By that time I had already secured a satisfactory position elsewhere and didn’t follow up further. Federal jobs are like being in a club and they restrict access. But once you’ve gained access, you have access to other government jobs that you would never hear about otherwise.
I owe $1200 between Klarna and Affirm. I bought needed furniture.
Affirm changed 35% interest. The only way I can reduce interest is to pay it off early. That is hard to do. The payments feel like garnishments to my checking account
I love how we're are judged through credit scores but not the government....
Hello guys! Can you post the link of the BNPL news? Thanks a lot☺️

This guys face right here?
Hilarious on every level.
I have a 760, everything is paid off, I grew up in Compton and I'm only 37. I didn't get my first credit card till I was 33
Every American should borrow against credit and all default. Everyone in the us should stop paying thd bills. Watch what happens. We are more powerful than we think.
Maybe our government should take this class because they don’t know how to curb their spending either.
Stop blaming all of us for overspending. The paycheck isn’t enough anymore. I don’t have a car payment or student loan and I STILL have to use a credit card for food and medical because the utilities are so high. No other option.
Should have saved some money
@@SWOTHDRA I spent my savings last year on cancer treatment… did you read my comment? No need to judge and be an a$$ about it!

You must address the fact that the credit reporting agencies constantly send consumers emails and text alerts selling them new credit cards...and Personal loans.. This is predatory .. The credit agencies are bad actors all the way around.
The masses and government don’t know how to manage money.
I drive by a 200k welcome sign on the side of the interstate everyday. Such a waste of taxes. It’s not even a state welcome sign, it’s a sign for an unofficial community.
Do you know what Bodine people are hurting-financially spendings out of control because everything cost so much. Get a clue you sitting up there with your TH-cam money which is great. I’m happy for you but don’t look down on people that are struggling and they might use lines of credit to live off of or pay other vital bills
In the end that's destructive however appealing it looks early on. Unwise spending is very common, like poor folks wasting money wearing someone else's hair or buying expensive vehicles on credit. I used to fix cars for a used car lot and that destroyed any respect I used to have for consumer intelligence. Except for farmers and tradies buying work trucks most folks really are mindless consumers who buy toys they don't need to impress people who don't care about them. The smart folks don't stay poor for long but most people waste time entertaining themselves with trifles instead of constantly self-educating.

I’m not disputing that fact

I thank God that I have managed to pay off my credit card wevery month during covid, and since then as well.
This is not only in the USA - but a global issue. I call it CONVENIENCE LIVING or Keeping Up With The Joneses. - Friend has new phone, so the old Buy Now Pay Later Pops Up - free money to get things now :( Later the costs are double or triple the price paid.
Guess who’s not living like that? PBD and his buddies including new guy Cuomo. They don’t care about people. They just want the money!!
Not with Klarna and its not really global. In the US its a double whammy because you people dont know how to spend what you actually have. If we globally ban credit cards, then the US would tank within a day. Not so much my countey, where you cant even do groceries with a credit card, only with debit......aka actual money that you have
@@SWOTHDRA Yes in my country they are also pushing for Cashless Society too - however there are so many ways to get credit on purchases. Not just major purchases but for disposable items. There are so many other ways people get into debt. Pay Day Loans or those Buy Now - Pay Later Deals. are the next demon in many family incomes & whilst I have never used them have seen people get burned on fees. Cash Advances via credit cards to buy daily living supplies is also credit. Decades ago I bought my first IBM PC - It was interest free but had some fees for 12 interest free credit. I had it paid off in 3 months but the fees were horrendous. My friend got the same deal but with late fees & other costs he paid a 50% penalty. As a veteran accountant & volunteer financial counsellor, things are getting worse. Companies are going up globally but people are still wanting the same lifestyle. I have not worked for wages for some 30+ years but I recall the struggles of counting every dollar too.
Spoken like true entrepreneurs. We advertise to you the ppl and now it your fault we spent billions on advertising directed at you and now it’s your fault. WOW.
So we should all short Affirm and other alike companies?

What a shitty transition at the end instead of explaining what V said
a low credit score has nothing to do with how much you spend on credit . its based on how much debt you have and payment history.
We have a serious lack of personal responsibility in this country!
I owe zero on credit cards & stilluse BNPL $ pay before deadline
Thats the way
The problem is most people don’t understand and/or follow one simple skill… How to balance a budget. Most people spend everything they make and do not live within their means. One emergency 🚨 and it’s over. The government is the same way, just fyi
As you tube channel "Minority Mindset " calls it, Broke NOW AND Broke LATER !
The banks( money lenders) love it - if you can’t pay,no problem your kids can, no can’t,no worries you Grand kids can- the banks love , keep paying back for ever
I used affirm a few times finally paid off the last one early have 3 credit cards left then it's just my mortgage never again will I have consumer debt
It's like the subprime mortgage fiasco. Where are the monies coming from to fund these fly by night BNPLs? That requires massive capital investment. You need to dig back beyond the superficial consumer financial layer to see the real risk. It's the banks financing bad debt. Again!
The banks were saved by our money, they owe us
All my family members with bad credit take out these buy now pay later loans and they never pay. Their debt then gets sold to a debt collector, and they just hang up on them every time. I love to see it. 😂
Lol good
Oh, so Adam can generalize all of us Latinos as being "pobrecito Latino"? Ok, I believe you just gave us an example to follow, and we can, from now on, generalize all jews... got it!
Bro exactly this dude is jackass😂😂
6 figure earner with comfortable savings - I always do buy now pay later. Free interest on purchases spread out over a month; if the purchase is reasonable and you have the funds, it’s a no brainer.
The best credit score is no credit score. I'm currently 90% in cash and can't wait for the fricking market to finally crash.
cash may go worthless. hope you have in high interest savings...

America should be proud of themselves.
I got my shirt and Hat, Thanks PBD!!!
Boo. You’re still buying their schtick?? PBD is a Fake who just wants 💰💰💰💰. He showed his true self when he hired Cuomo!
Payed off my credit cards today only time I used them was for a rainy day when I was transitioning jobs. I will never use credit lines and cards again. I’d rather keep a mediocre credit score build it up with small loans, as appeased to it dropping 30 points every time I swipe a card. Americans making poor financial choices.
I'm worried what's gonna happen in 20 or 30 years when social security is tapped out and people who never invested or even really paid into social security are to old to work
While I agree with a lot of what is said here, we need to consider one's upbringing. For instance, when PBD says, "You chose to go buy those gifts for Christmas you couldn't afford to buy," sometimes it's a single mother who just wants to see her children happy. And she would take on all the debt in the world if it meant her kids were smiling at Christmas. Not because she was "terrible with money" but because she didn't have parents or mentors (like I imagine most of this cast did) to teach her about money and how to manage it, invest, etc. So while logically speaking, BNPL is a terrible idea (and trust me, I think credit card companies are the scum of the Earth), it's important to remember not everyone was fortunate enough to be taught how to manage money growing up.
Still not an excuse. Everyone trying to shift blame somewhere other than themselves.
Why is she a single mother? 🤡
@@SWOTHDRA Her husband was in the US military and died fighting overseas, so people like you have the freedom to post comments like this.
This is a remarkably uninformed conversation.
BNPL has significantly lower delinquency rates relative to credit card companies. Affirm has consistently shrunk its delinquency rates through some of the most advanced and actively managed risk modeling there is… their delinquency rate is 2.3%.
BNPL is displacing traditional credit cards because it’s far more favorable for creditworthy borrowers who are essentially financing large purchases with di minimis interest or penalties. Do you prefer your 20%+ interest credit card?
Can you please interview Kris Newby?
Wait a sec… not reported to credit agencies? I like 😊
You can see how these people get in debt is when You are in line at drive through at McDonalds and see people using their credit card to pay for their families dinner with the credit card. It has to be a minimum of $ 30.00 a time and how many times do they do it weekly ? Instead of buying groceries for the week and fixing meals that can last a couple days they go to McDonalds where I say they print money every hour. Wasn't for people to spend foolishly like this McDonalds would be out of business.A package of overpriced hot dogs and buns or bologna and loaf of bread can go a long way if you don't have the money. Spend within your means and once a while buy a good meal at a restaurant but don;t hit fast food restaurant several times a week. Pretty Simple that our parents taught us to save and spend what You can afford and only use Credit Cards in case of an emergency .
A financial credit score is worse then a social credit score......
Credit scares are BS!
Same thing with houses. Ppl buying after they added $100k on houses after Covid. And I know ppl who still get approved for a loan up to $300k. And they only make $77k combined. Then they all want new trucks and cars. I get that we all need cars and homes. But the math don’t add up. I have a buddy who got a boat and new $80k truck and wife’s new jeep. They been living on credit cards and banking on Over time. No more OT. And now he wants to sell truck and jeep and boat. Bro, but that’s the majority of ppl I know
