Capital One shutting off credit cards. Delinquencies spike to 2008 levels.

  • Credit card charge-offs and liquidations have hit their highest rate since 2008 for credit card issuers such as Capital One and Discover, a concerning sign for the outlook of the US economy. The Federal Reserve is starting to sign alarm bells about this.
    Recent reports from card issuers, including AMEX (American Express), also show an increase in delinquencies and charge-offs. A sign that US consumers are struggling to pay their bills and could be on the verge of reducing spending.
    If consumer spending gets cut back, that's something which could cause a recession. As spending accounts for almost 70% of US GDP.

      Credit cart interest rates rose to crazy levels during the Reagan years, when the federal interest rate skyrocketed up to double digits. Surprise surprise, though . . . when the fed rate dropped down to near zero, the credit card rates did NOT follow suit. And those sleazeballs want everyone making the bare minimum payment every month, over our heads in debt to them for life.

      Equally important - never in world history have we seen a bubble this massive while having SIMULTANEOUS 35-50% increases in utilities, insurance, groceries, and transportation costs. The median income earner is being hit from all sides not only for the first time in history, but at greater percentages relative to the median income than ever in history. I was 20 in 2008, spent a year saving a 10% downpayment and bought a house in Florida 2 miles from the beach for $60,000 at 60% off of 2007 values, and to put that in perspective, that same identical home is $300,000 today. It was $140,000 in 2007 at the peak of the bubble and even THAT proved unsustainable. It's 45% worse today overall than 2006-2007 peak bubble mathematically.

    Nick, I work in healthcare, I’m a registered nurse, access continues to be a problem for many healthcare organizations because we do not have enough providers or registered nurses to care for the members. We are losing four physicians to retirement this year. We’re only replacing one. The other thing I noticed this year is we are hiring a ton of new grad RNs. This is highly unusual. It’s usually very tough to get a job as a new grad. I suspect they’re doing it because they want to pay us less , they’re pushing out the experienced among us.

      California has the most accurate stats with roughly 12,000 new RN graduates each year. With this many people flooding the workplace employers are going to pay less and less. They will tell you "if you don't do it will replace you with someone else" This happens in every industry that gets flooded. Basically corporations want everyone to have 3 jobs just to live so they can keep their profits high. I have seen a few people get "laid off" this year when they asked for a raise only to have that same position filled by a new employee for 80% of what they were paying my friend before they let him go.

    I had about 40-50k in CC debt going into 2008. The CC companies began cutting my limits and upping the monthly minimum. I'd pay off a grand or two and they would immediately cut the limit down more so I always had maybe 500 bucks. The low limit to debt load destroyed my FICO, making everything even worse.
    In 2009 I lost my job. Almost went bankrupt. Dumped all the cards. Now debt free and will never do that again.

In other countries people in their twenties are afraid of debt in the USA they already have debt and that's normalized.

Now we are comfortable but before I was living paycheck to paycheck trying to make it last. I don’t use credit cards so I have no crazy debts I am just a single income household granted I make 7k after taxes I know a lot of people don’t. I believe we are in a recession if you use the definition of what it is. The consumer will just have to cut back on luxuries like I did and it’ll be better. You don’t need subscriptions and you can shop at Aldi or other stores that save money. Don’t buy anything you don’t need. The only things I need is food water and shelter and baby clothes for my child that’s about it.

      Yes. 8 years ago we were paycheck to paycheck. Then we went total scorched earth on our debt, paid it all off, CC personal, kids student loan, car loan and mortgage. Then we took an axe to our spending, got on a budget and established a 6 month emergency fund. In 2023, the first full year being debt free and with an emergency fund in place, we were able to achieve a 50% savings rate, which is amazing I think. This on basically the same income that had us paycheck to paycheck 8 years ago.
