Store Credit Cards Hit 30% Interest Rates As Consumer Balances Rise
Toxic.
There has been a massive surge in credit card usage by US households, a troubling sign that could suggest that in lieu of disposable income, many consumers are forced to max out credit cards to survive the inflation storm.
As consumer balance sheets become more saturated with credit card debt, it will become harder to pay off as rates rise.
Households are taking on insurmountable credit card debts while rates are climbing — as well as personal savings is collapsing.
I guess consumers GET IT. As GOV have no intention to re-pay loans . . . why should consumers?
Because govt’s are to big to fail while consumers end up in jail?
