How do rich people use debt to build wealth while everyone else drowns in it? In this personal finance breakdown, we run the real math on the six debt mechanisms billionaires, business owners, and investing pros actually use — and the one number that separates winners from losers on every single loan.Two people can take the exact same loan, at the exact same interest rate, on the exact same day. One ends up buried. The other ends up richer than when they started. Same debt. Opposite result. The difference is one number — and once you see it, every “rich people trick” becomes the same equation with different inputs.We walk through all six mechanisms: trade credit and the inventory float, the real estate cash-out refinance, the billionaire “Buy, Borrow, Die” tax strategy, securities-backed lines of credit (and the margin-call risk underneath them), 0% balance transfer arbitrage, and the credit score lever that makes every future loan cheaper for the rest of your life.Some of these are billionaire-only. Some you can run today with the money you already have. We’re honest about which is which — no hype, no courses, just the math. This is money management the way the wealthy actually think about it, not the way personal finance gurus tell you to.??

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.

According to DebtBusters, 95 percent of people who applied for debt counselling during the second quarter had personal loans. 54% of them are on one-month payday loans of more than 23% interest per annum. Interest rate cuts and two pots systems have been used by some to consolidate loans, as many battle to maintain households costs. Debtbusters Executive Head, Benay Sager elaborates.

Younger Americans face a financial crisis. Their growing debt burden has far outpaced that of older generations, and it’s only getting worse. Generation Z is being hit the hardest, thanks to lower income and the rising cost of everything from food to housing. Bloomberg takes a look at the roots of this problem, and whether anything can be done.

00:00 – 00:54 Introduction to a growing debt problem
00:55 – 03:44 Income and inflation
03:45 – 05:42 Housing costs
05:43 – 07:48 Education and tuition costs
07:49 – 10:37 Doom spending
10:38 – 11:30 What does the future hold for young people?

Young Americans today face a serious debt crisis. And it’s making the American Dream seem more like an illusion.

Both Gen Zers and younger millennials were hit by a nasty one-two punch — the Covid-19 pandemic and then the worst inflation in decades — at critical points in their financial journeys. Now, those aged 18 to 29 are carrying $1.12 trillion of debt, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. While that only makes up 6.3% of the total $17.8 trillion in US consumer debt, it’s still a huge burden to carry at an early point in their financial development.

Such an enormous debt burden has contributed to financial pessimism among young adults that’s changing how they work and spend money, key shifts that may have implications for not just their future finances, but also the broader US economy.

Credit card debt just hit another new all-time high here in United States and is showing no signs of slowing down and continues to go higher and higher. Americans were also surveyed on why they keep using their credit cards and balances keep going up and the number one sided reason is because they cannot afford the cost of living. How is this a sign of a strong economy?

According to the Debt Index by DebtBusters, the number of people seeking help from debt counsellors grew 40% year-on-year in the first quarter. The data also showed that consumers spent close to two-thirds of their net income to pay off debt. Companies Reporter for Business Day, Nico Gous joins Business Day TV to unpack how high inflation and interest-rate hikes squeeze disposable income and hamper consumers’ ability to repay liabilities.
