Welcome back, this is John Mackey, your Credit Genius, and today we’re talking about what I call the American Squeeze.
If you’ve been feeling like everything is harder right now—whether it’s buying a house, paying down debt, or even trusting that your personal data is safe—you’re not imagining it. 2025 is putting pressure on every side of the wallet.
In this episode, I’m going to walk you through four big storylines:
How wealth has shifted heavily to Boomers while younger generations are falling behind,
Why the housing market is still out of reach for millions,
How Buy Now, Pay Later has exploded into a full-blown debt strategy for consumers,
And why data privacy and cybersecurity failures from giants like Disney and TransUnion should matter to every one of us."
