With the 30-year Treasury briefly topping 5%, investors and homebuyers alike are wondering: are borrowing costs headed even higher?

It's exactly how it sounds like - read the title:)Here are some of the specific questions we've covered during the interview:- Travel cards, let's start with the definition here - what is it and how is it different from a regular credit card?- How do the reward points work? Who offers them and why?- What actually happens when you click "redeem points" to, say, book a rental car for your trip? How do these funds settle on the backend?- If the cash equivalent is sent to the provider (car rental in this case), why is it more efficient for the consumer to redeem points through a provider rather than receiving cash-back?- Let's talk about people who are worried about getting new credit cards or overuse their existing cards. What are the key "unknown" factors that might affect the credit score of an individual?- expand on the topic if time permits.

The stock markets have been on somewhat of a roller coaster since US president Trump announced global trade tariffs. Listeners emailed Money Box to tell us about the impact of the fall out in their pensions and investments. The advice from the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association which speaks for pension companies is 'if you still have many years until you retire, you have plenty of time to recover short-term price falls'. But, what happens if you're retiring right now and you've seen your pension plummet? Also on the programme, the amount we owe on our credit cards is at record levels, topping £73 billion. But is increased borrowing an indication of consumer confidence or personal crisis?And do you know you state pension age? Research suggests many of close to retirement don't.Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporters: Eimear Devlin and Jo Krasner Output Producer: Craig Henderson Editor: Sarah Rogers(This episode was first broadcast on Saturday the 12th of April on BBC Radio 4)

Credit card debt has been rising at one of the fastest rates in history. The amount Americans owed on credit cards hit an record high of over $1.2 trillion at the end of 2024.

His new 12-part series for Marketplace, “Buy Now, Pay Later,” focuses on the worrisome trend of older Americans carrying debt into retirement. Joanne Lundberg is the financial counseling supervisor at LSS Financial Counseling, a service of Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota. She is based in Duluth. Resources mentioned during the show: The National Foundation for Credit Counseling provides advice on how to avoid and handle credit card debt and manage your credit score. It also provides referrals to nonprofit organizations that can work with people individually on reducing credit card debt. The nonprofit organization LSS Financial Counseling runs a debt management program.
