Credit card debt in the US recently reached $1 trillion in the second quarter of 2023 – for the first time ever. Economists cite reasons like inflation and rising interest rates as major contributors to this debt crisis.

On today's show, we're going to talk about what’s really behind this mounding credit card debt. You're also going to learn some solid solutions you can put into place to fix your credit score.
