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?

STORYTIME ON MY DEBT JOURNEY: How I got into it and how I got myself out of it. I talk a lot on here about luxury fashion and lifestyle including brands we all love here – from Chanel to Dior. But with such things comes the need to be able to pay for them. Social media has so many amazing positives, but it also encourages us all to put our best face forward! To show the fruits of our labor and not the labor itself! Debt is a real cause for concern and SO often it’s a taboo subject, one that no one wants to admit to or talk about. My debt started when I enrolled in university. Combination of me being very immature and inexperienced in terms of managing a budget that needed to cover rent/food/books…. AND, the need to still hold-down a social life at university, which meant joining peers when everyone went out in the evenings, to the cinema, shopping etc.
I didn’t tell anyone about my debt because I was frightened, I didn’t want a lecture (I already knew I was a fool for getting myself into it!) and I was embarrassed. Debt affects most of us at some point in our lives; whether it’s credit cards or a mortgage – but the debt spiral can be a hole that is near impossible to get out of. In this I tell you how my debt started with me wanting a packet of free coloring pencils (don’t ask), it then got so big that my salary wouldn’t cover the minimum payments. BUT, I dug my way out of it!! I want to share with you how I did that and let you know, you’re not alone and there is light at the end of the tunnel!
