In this eye-opening clip from The Iced Coffee Hour podcast, financial expert and author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, reveals a fundamental difference between how the wealthy and the average person view and use debt.
Kiyosaki argues that not all debt is bad. He explains the crucial distinction between “good debt” (which puts money in your pocket, like real estate mortgages) and “bad debt” (which takes money out, like credit card balances). Discover why the rich leverage debt as a tool for accelerated wealth creation and how you can adopt this mindset to secure your own financial future.

Americans are going into debt just to relax. Vacation debt is quietly becoming the newest financial crisis, with families putting flights, hotels, cruises, and even theme park tickets on credit cards at record levels. Buy now, pay later plans, travel loans, and 25% APR credit cards are turning memories into monthly payments.
In this video, we break down how vacation debt is skyrocketing in 2026, why so many Americans feel pressure to “live their best life” even if they can’t afford it, and how banks, airlines, and travel companies profit from your impulse to escape. We’ll look at rising credit card balances, buy now pay later travel financing, and what this trend says about the state of the economy.
1. Why are Americans willing to finance a vacation but not build an emergency fund?
2. Has social media pressure made going into debt for travel feel normal?
3. What happens when the trip is over but the payments are just beginning?

Apparently, 58% of people with consumer debt have had trouble paying their bills over the last three months. And that’s no bueno. In this video, I ask everyday people in Nashville exactly how much debt they have. Pray for me.

When you learn NOTHING after filing bankruptcy, this is how you end up $92,000 in debt all over again. In this video, we break down one of the wildest post-bankruptcy debt stories on the internet: $92,589 in total debt just six years after bankruptcy, nearly $3,976 in monthly minimum payments, and roughly $1,800 every single month going straight to interest.
From new car loans to high-interest credit cards, Klarna, Affirm and Bread furniture financing, Upstart, Upgrade, and Avant personal loans, and lifestyle spending that never actually stopped, this is a real-world example of how debt cycles repeat when the root problem isn’t fixed. Bankruptcy wiped the slate clean, but the spending behavior stayed exactly the same.
We walk through the real math behind credit card APRs, why minimum payments keep people trapped for years, how debt consolidation loans often make the situation worse, and why “building credit” means nothing if spending is out of control. This video also breaks down debt-to-income reality, convenience spending, instant gratification, and how small financial decisions compound into overwhelming debt over time.
This is personal finance commentary meant to help you avoid the same mistakes, because the future version of you always pays the price. If you’re trying to pay off debt, rebuild after bankruptcy, stop overspending, or finally escape the minimum payment trap, this breakdown will hit hard — but it’s necessary.

In 2025, credit card debt has hit record highs, leaving millions of Americans struggling to keep up. With inflation still squeezing household budgets and interest rates hovering near 23%, people are turning to credit cards just to cover basic expenses. Groceries, gas, and rent are being charged more often than paid in cash, and balances are growing faster than people can pay them off. What used to be a tool for convenience has turned into a lifeline — and for many, a financial trap that keeps tightening every month.
The pressure is overwhelming. Minimum payments barely make a dent, and late fees only push people deeper into debt. Younger adults are getting hit especially hard, carrying thousands of dollars in balances before they’ve even built real savings. Many are watching their credit scores fall and their stress rise as they struggle to stay afloat. In 2025, credit card debt isn’t just about overspending — it’s about survival in an economy where everything costs more and paychecks simply don’t go far enough.
