Description

Americans took on an additional $74 billion in credit card debt last year, according to WalletHub, which is actually a smaller increase than we saw in 2023. But in 2024, Americans defaulted on $59 billion in credit card debt — a 34% jump from 2023. We’ll hear more. Also on the show: China’s deflation woes, a major crypto heist tied to North Korea and the market ripple effects of continued uncertainty.
