Losers Are People Living Paycheck To Paycheck<\/h2>\n<p>40% of Americans are now in a debt cycle that only ends in default. Even incomes over $150k are maxing out their cards to keep up with inflation. This is the Great Depression 2.0 incoming.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some not-so-tasty stats:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>35% of Americans using a credit card believe they will max out at least one of their cards before the end of the year.<\/li>\n<li>A further 38% say they use credit cards to pay for expenses they previously didn\u2019t use them for.<\/li>\n<li>Nearly two-thirds (62%) of already employed Americans said they are either considering a side gig in the next six months.<\/li>\n<li>31% of Americans said if the freeze lifted on student loan payments (which it did, unfortunately), they\u2019d have to cut down on their spending in the second half of the year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In closing, while assets are up the overall economy is a house of cards.
