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?

?????Let’s talk about debt consolidation.

TL;DR – Debt consolidation is a way to put all your debts into one place.

There are pros and cons to this.

????Pros: Everything will be consolidated into one loan, you’ll only need to make one monthly payment, you can lower your interest rate, and simply your finances.

????Cons: An extended payment plan may mean more interest paid over time, your credit score may be negatively impacted, it’s not a one-size-fits all solution.

????Last, be careful, some companies are predatory and may try to take advantage of vulnerable people.
