Rising Household Debt Concerns
Current statistics reveal alarming levels of household debt in the U.S., totaling a record $17.5 trillion. This staggering figure includes $12 trillion in mortgages, $1.6 trillion in auto loans, and nearly $1.6 trillion in student loans, which have become a significant burden as payments are delinquent. Credit card debt alone has also reached $1.1 trillion, with projections indicating that a serious recession may lead to widespread defaults. This situation raises concerns for credit card companies as they prepare for increased charge-offs, potentially making this sector ripe for strategic investments when stock prices drop significantly.
