Why Everyone Is Drowning In Debt (and how to get out) - Caleb Hammer
What was said
"How in the world does she think she's possibly going to get to homeownership if she's getting camper, motorcycle, and a $50,000 car? We are so debt brain broken. People usually end up in the same situation they are without changing their behavior before going through bankruptcy."
Caleb Hammer dissects a viral TikTok where a woman files Chapter 7 bankruptcy over $91,300 in debt, primarily from a $51,000 vehicle, a motorcycle, and a camper she lives in while claiming she can't afford a house. Hammer argues this exemplifies America's broken relationship with debt and consumerism, noting bankruptcy doesn't fix behavior patterns and people typically return to the same situation without behavioral change.
