There’s a lot of talk about a possible economic downturn. Posts like this are a reminder that the economy and everyday households are connected. But beyond predictions about markets or recessions, one thing is already true: millions of Americans are struggling with unsecured debt right now. Instead of waiting for a crisis, we should be asking what tools and systems people need today to stay financially stable and resilient.

JUNE 2028. The S&P is down 38% from its highs. Unemployment just printed 10.2%. Private credit is unraveling. Prime mortgages are cracking. AI didn’t disappoint. It exceeded every expectation. What happened?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ citriniresearch.com/p/2028gi…

Should I take the cash out? If I win I’m paying off 1M of credit card debt for random people.

Since launching @startrelief, we’ve helped people with a cumulative total of >$8 billion in debt. Over the course of my career, I’ve personally talked to thousands of good people drowning in bills. You know what a lot of them have in common? They bought shit to impress people who don’t care. That watch. That bag. That trip on a payment plan. Real wealth isn’t what you show off. It’s what you keep. Stop performing.

Average interest rates on credit cards revealing a sharp upward trend, especially in the most recent years. This translates into a LOT of money for banks and a LOT of pain for normal people.

Credit Card Companies should not be allowed to charge 24% interest rates, it's absurd and borderline criminal. Why does Congress allow this to continue?

AMERICAN HERO 🇺🇸 As catastrophic floods swept through Central Texas, Rescue Swimmer Scott Ruskan and his Coast Guard aircrew answered the call of duty without hesitation—saving 165 lives during his first rescue mission. The extraordinary bravery and selfless service of Ruskan and his fellow first responders embody the very spirit of the United States Coast Guard and the best of what it means to be an American. Thank you to the first responders.

“Why help people in debt? They borrowed more than they could afford.” Actually — no. Studies show 86% of the rise in consumer debt since 2020 is due to inflation, not reckless spending. I’m stoked to help millions of Americans dig their way out using simple, transparent technology with @startrelief

Debt is the gateway drug to socialism. When half the country is drowning in bills they can’t pay, they stop asking for opportunity—and start demanding rescue.

The more that I experience in life the more I realize that the nicest/best thing you can do for yourself is to NEVER take things personally.

“People who are irresponsible with debt shouldn't receive help.” A person—who openly admitted having a massive trust fund—said this to me today. While irresponsible borrowing does account for some portion of outstanding debt, it's the exception rather than the rule. How do I know? We've onboarded over $6 billion of debt at Relief, and I personally engage with as many users as possible. The primary driver behind the historic surge in credit card debt is inflation. More than ever, everyday expenses are going onto credit cards—not by choice, but out of necessity due to rising costs outpacing wages. The latest data underscores this reality: credit card debt in the U.S. reached a record-breaking $1.21 trillion as of Q4 2024. It's easy to judge from a pedestal, but true strength lies in empathy—taking a closer look and extending a helping hand.

This is not good for consumers. It’s also exactly why we built @startrelief.
