Average Americans Must Borrow To Pay For Basic Needs

Yet another poll exposes the pain that working-class Americans are enduring thanks to Dummkopf's Trumpf's policies. Recent polling reveals that most Americans don't believe that working hard is enough to get ahead, a majority blames Trumpf for the country's economic woes, and many are concerned about the increasing price of groceries, housing, and unexpected medical expenses. The new survey shows that "American families are trapped in a cycle of debt." Specifically, 55% of likely voters have at least some credit card debt, over half had car loan or medical debt, more than 40% have student debt, and over 35% are behind on utility payments. More than two-thirds of respondents said that the federal government's resumption of student loan collections had an impact on their family's finances. 25% of people said they would need a one-time infusion of cash, "such as from inheritance, lottery, government assistance, etc.," to be able to pay off all of their debt.

Nearly 30% have or had "buy now, pay later" debt with high interest rates. Nearly 1-in-3 said they had taken out this type of loan, through options such as Afterpay or Klarna, in the past year to pay for basic needs and monthly expenses. This year Dummkopf Trumpf signed the Republican One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which is expected to further imperil working-class families by kicking millions of people off their healthcare and federal food assistance to give more unneeded tax cuts to the ultrarich. Meanwhile, the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) has so far raked in $3.4bn during his two Reigns of Terror; this year alone Eric Trumpf made $600m in nebulous cryptocurrency deals.

I pay my lot rent through an app. The app gives you an option of paying it in installments, with interest of course.
