Description:
Americans owe over $1 trillion collectively in credit card debt, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported Tuesday. The average credit card balance per consumer exceeds $6,000, up 8.5% from the previous year. More borrowers are falling behind on credit card payments, with less than 9% of balances transitioning to delinquency. Serious delinquencies past 90 days reached their highest level since 2010. Younger adults have taken on more debt to cover the rising rent costs, student loans, and auto loans. Credit cards charging an average of 20% interest are typically the most expensive debt.

Only the four World Title contests have been officially announced at this point, but WWE is also being pretty obvious with some of the other puzzle pieces including Jimmy And Jey Uso, Awesome Truth and Judgment Day, AJ Styles and LA Knight and Logan Paul, Randy Orton and maybe KO. Gunther will also obviously get a prime spot on the card and will defend The Intercontinental Championship, though his opponent is less clear, and it’s been heavily rumored and hinted at on screen that we’re going to get Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes vs The Rock and Roman Reigns in a tag match.<br/><br/>Altogether, it’s shaping up to be one of the most stacked and exciting cards in WrestleMania history, but it’s also presenting a really obvious numbers problem for WWE. If you only count the matches I referenced above, that’s 10 slots that are pretty close to locked in for ‘Mania. Last year, if you don’t count The Miz’s two unannounced comedy fights, there were 13 matches on the card. If you remove Vince McMahon’s unannounced match from WrestleMania 38, there were 15 matches that year. The year before that at WrestleMania 37, there were 14 matches. That range seems to be the sweet spot WWE likes, and given The Rock is involved this year and likely to get a significant amount of time, it’s hard to think Triple H and company are going to push for more than usual.")

_average-american-spends-this-long-looking-at-dream-purchases.webp "The average American spends nearly two and a half hours a day dreamscrolling — looking at dream purchases or things they’d like to one day own — and 71% say it’s time well spent, as the habit motivates them to reach their financial goals.<br/><br/>In a recent poll of 2,000 U.S. adults, more than two in five respondents say they spend more time dreamscrolling when the economy is uncertain (43%). In a year, that amounts to about 873 hours or nearly 36 days spent scrolling. <br/><br/>Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of financial services company Empower, the survey reveals half of respondents say they dreamscroll while on the job, and of those, one in five admit to spending between three and four hours a day multitasking while at work.<br/><br/>Gen Zers spend the most time dreamscrolling at just over three hours per day, while boomers spend the least, clocking in around an hour.<br/><br/>Survey respondents say looking at dream purchases makes it easier for them to be smart with their money (56%), avoid making unplanned purchases or going into debt (30%) and better plan to achieve their financial goals (25%).<br/><br/>Nearly seven in 10 see dreamscrolling as an investment in themselves (69%) and an outlet for them to envision what they want out of life (67%). Four in 10 respondents (42%) say they regularly spend time picturing their ideal retirement — including their retirement age, location and monthly expenses.<br/><br/>Scrolling for the American dream: one in five respondents are looking at homes or apartments (21%), while a quarter look at vacation destinations (25%), beauty or self-care products (23%), and items for their pet (19%).<br/><br/>Others spend time looking at clothing, shoes and accessories (49%); gadgets and technology (30%); and home décor or furniture (29%). <br/><br/>More than half (56%) currently have things left open in tabs and windows or saved in shopping carts that they’d like to purchase or own in the future. For those respondents, they estimate it would cost about $86,593.40 to afford everything they currently have saved.<br/><br/>Almost half of Americans say they are spending more time dreamscrolling now than did in previous years (45%) and 56% plan on buying something on their dream list before this year wraps. <br/><br/>While 65% are optimistic they’ll be able to one day buy everything on their list, nearly one in four say they don’t think they’ll ever be able to afford the majority of items (23%).<br/><br/>More than half (51%) say owning their dream purchases would make them feel more financially secure, and close to half say working with a financial professional would help them reach their goals (47%).<br/><br/>Others feel they have more work to do: 34% say they’ve purchased less things on their dream list than they should at their age, with millennials feeling the most behind (39%).<br/><br/>Top economic factors that may be holding some Americans back include rising prices (54%), inability to save money (29%) and growing debt (21%). <br/><br/>Instead of doom spending, dreamscrolling has had a positive impact on Americans’ money h")
