This data is going to add up to more Americans dealing with unsustainable levels of unsecured debt ...

Recession or not, the squeeze hits hardest when you’re covering a kid’s tuition, a parent’s care, and your own retirement.
Credit cards often fill the gaps. That’s not a misstep. That’s keeping everyone covered. And getting out of credit card debt is more doable than it feels.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the U.S. is in a recession, according to a new Guardian-Harris Poll, despite President Donald Trump’s claims that the economy is thriving. Rising living costs are fueling financial anxiety, with 83% of Americans feeling the strain of higher gas prices and one in three saying an unexpected bill could put them in financial trouble. Meanwhile, inflation remains elevated, mortgage rates have climbed above 7%, and job growth has slowed sharply.
