👍 Like and subscribe to What’s Your 1 More Podcast for the latest on finance, real estate, and the economy! Is the consumer tapped out, or just done spending? Credit card debt has hit $1.21 trillion, with delinquencies climbing—especially among 18-39-year-olds. Homeowners are in a better position than renters, but will rising rates and economic shifts change that? The Federal Reserve's next move could shake up mortgage rates and home sales. Plus, Elon Musk is calling out phantom employees with a bold ultimatum—submit proof of your work, or consider yourself gone. "The biggest buyer of mortgage-backed securities is coming back—this is a massive win for the consumer." – Quinton Harris Source: New York Fed Consumer Credit Panel/Equifax Connect with us: Facebook:  /whatsyour1more
