The author looks at recent levels of #consumerdebt delinquency, #foreclosure, #bankruptcy and #savings to conclude that the #economy is in tip-top shape and we’re not in danger of a #recession so long as the labor market holds up. At the same time, he ignores the fact that people are burning through cash at an astounding rate. https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2022/11/it-might-take-a-recession-to-slow-down-the-consumer/

Just sharing an excellent article about avoiding getting a repayment meter forcibly fitted.

13. I absolutely am not telling people which debts to pay and which not to, but for people I help the Council Tax payments seem to stop before other payments. Councils will generally be far more proactive on debt collection than you think. Usually more so than #consumerdebt

Just going to transfer some #consumerdebt posts I had made on the bird-site a few weeks back given the ongoing #costoflivingcrisis. If it helps anyone at all that's great. First just some general #budget tips

I'm no MartinSLewis and some of these might seem obvious to you but if they are mentioned here it's because I have seen them 'in the wild' so if you see anything here even remotely useful please do spread the word.

People take on consumer debt due to an ever-increasing wage gap. Credit card companies exploit this and compound the problem with 20% APR. Once trapped in the never-ending cycle of debt, these companies use morality to shame people into ignoring bankruptcy, their only legal means of regaining financial control. This prevents large parts of the population from participating in our economic system, increasing economic fragility over time. #bankruptcy #consumerdebt #credit #economics

So great to see so many new folks here, and more internationally diverse than who I was connected with on the bird site! I'm a co-organizer of the Law and Society Association (#LSA) household finance CRN. Do you have a paper or book about #consumerdebt, #bankruptcy, household finance that you'd like to present? Or you're coming to LSA and interested in household finance research? We'd love to have you as part of our CRN! Email me and I'll get you connected.
