From AssetBuilder's Plano HQ, host Joey Badinger sits down with Adam Morse, Janet Griffith, and Tommy Williams to unpack America's debt picture—from household budgets to the federal balance sheet. We break down mortgages vs. auto/student/credit-card debt, what rising rates mean, how to use debt-to-income (DTI) the smart way (the 28/36 rule), and practical habits to avoid lifestyle creep and instant-gratification financing. You'll learn: How much U.S. households owe (and where it sits by generation) Why mortgages can be “productive” debt—and why long car loans aren't Current rate realities (mortgage, auto, student loans, credit cards) Exactly how to calculate your DTI (with target ranges) Behavior traps: BNPL, long auto terms, monthly-payment thinking What “deficits” mean at home and at the national level—and why they compound Hosts & Credentials: Joey Badinger (Lead Advisor), Adam Morse (Director of Advising), Janet Griffith (Senior Advisor), Tommy Williams (Associate Advisor), AssetBuilder, Plano, TX.

Mortgages can raise quality of life; revolving/consumer debt at high APRs can snowball. Auto loans are 2nd-largest consumer debt and loan terms are stretching—be wary of “just the monthly.” Credit-card APRs >20% make balances dangerous; build emergency savings to avoid swipes under stress. DTI targets: ≤28% housing (PITI+HOA), ≤36% total debts is healthy; 50%+ is a red flag. Behavior beats hacks: budget regularly, delay gratification, prefer used cars/shorter terms, question “need vs. want.” Hashtags & Keywords Keywords: consumer debt 2025, debt to income ratio, 28/36 rule, mortgage vs rent, auto loan terms, credit card APR, student loans, national debt vs GDP, budgeting tips, AssetBuilder advisors Hashtags: #PersonalFinance #DebtFreeJourney #DTI #Mortgage #AutoLoans #CreditCards #Investing #Budgeting #KeepItSimplePodcast #AssetBuilder

France's public debt has risen above €3.4 trillion in the second quarter of this year, to 115.6 percent of GDP, new official data shows. It comes as the country's new prime minister, Sebastien Lecornu, is trying to get support from political parties, unions and businesses to draft a budget for 2026, which needs to go before parliament by October 7. Meanwhile, the country's national rail operator SNCF is introducing a new ultra-premium class as it faces increasing international competition. 

In this episode of the Momentous Wealth Podcast, Todd Pisarczyk and Aiden Pisarczyk unpack the complexities of the U.S. national debt and what it really means for investors. They explain how government debt differs from personal debt, why rising debt levels often make headlines, and whether it should change the way you invest. Their takeaway? While national debt is important to understand, it shouldn't distract from long-term financial planning. This episode offers a clear, level-headed look at a topic that's often misunderstood—and frequently overhyped.

The U.S. national debt has surged past $37 trillion, raising alarms about its long-term impact on economic stability and generational equity. While some argue that low interest rates make high debt manageable, fiscal experts warn that relying on favorable conditions is a risky bet. Eroding public investment, budget gimmicks, and declining trust in economic data all compound the challenge. Dr. Carolyn Bourdeaux, Executive Director of the Concord Coalition, is here to explain what's at stake and what can be done.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dave Hebert on why many voters believe economists have conned the American people

John Batchelor 09-03 segment 9.mp3 Guest: Brett Arends of Market Watch (Return on Investment). Bond Market Anxiety and Federal Reserve Pressures Brett Arends explains the bond market's current unhappiness stems from unsustainable national debt and uncertainty surrounding President Trump's tariffs. He clarifies that the Fedcontrols short-term rates, while the bond market sets long-term rates. Arends warns that Trump's pressure on the Fed to cut short-term rates could paradoxically cause long-term rates, including mortgage rates, to rise, hurting the economy and exacerbating market nervousness. He emphasizes the need for fiscal sustainability. 1947 DEMOCRACY SQUARE

John Batchelor 09-03 segment 10.mp3 Guest: Brett Arends of Market Watch.

Arends notes that gold's all-time high reflects a lack of market confidence. PEKING UNIVERSITY

In this episode of A Wiser Retirement® Podcast, Casey Smith, Andrew Pratt, CFA, CBDA, and Shawna Theriault, CFP®, CPA, CDFA®, dive deep into the state of America's national debt, what it is, how it got this large, and what it could mean for the country and for everyday investors. While it's common to compare government debt to household finances, national debt is far more complex because the U.S. government controls its own currency.

What is credit, really? It's usually... debt. This is why Dave Ramsey teaches and preaches the way he does- saying don't use credit cards. It's because most of us need guard rails against going into debt and getting into trouble. Our society is being taught to borrow for everything- your furniture, your cell phone, and now, even your groceries with Buy Now Pay Later Loans.I am going to throw a lot of info at you on this one, but take in the debt numbers and realize that as a country, we are in trouble- and I am not even talking about the $37 Trillion in National Debt. I am talking about that sizable household debt- even aside from mortgage loans- that are suffocating and burying us with debt payments. It's causing anxiety, frustration, friction and even health problems.Questions@creditkristi.com

There's an economic fantasy you sometimes hear in D.C. It often gets trotted out when politicians are trying to add billions or trillions to the national debt. They claim that all the new spending will be worth it in the end because we will supercharge economic growth. This fantasy recurs again and again, because economic growth is a potent force. Over the next few decades, tiny changes in how fast our economy grows could decide the fate of the federal government — whether we can bring the massive national debt under control or whether we spiral into a fiscal crisis. Today on the show, we talk to three economists who have been sifting through the latest evidence. They're trying to figure out what the government could actually do to make the economy grow faster. Could we even grow fast enough to outrun our national debt?
