In what should be their golden years, millions of pensioners face a harsh financial reality: debt. This silent crisis is leaving 33% of UK retirees with an average debt of £17,000, and the toll is more than just financial.
Welcome back to the @Economese channel where together we will learn the language of money and wealth.

Driven by the high cost of living, inflation, limited pension savings, and the pressure to support family as the “Bank of Mum and Dad,” many pensioners are caught in a cycle of loans, mortgages, and credit card debt.
This not only affects those in retirement but those who are close to retirement who may have plans that are not on track.
This video delves into the unseen struggles faced by pensioners, highlighting key findings from SunLife’s Life Well Spent Report and examining factors that contribute to this growing issue.
Our analysis explains how poor pension preparation, economic pressures, and family commitments are leading retirees toward debt in unprecedented numbers.
We also explore some potential solutions, from debt management and financial counselling and education to careful use of equity release and policy improvements that could alleviate some of the financial strain for future pensioners.

Sky News host Danica De Giorgio claims US Vice President Kamala Harris is “desperate” for more cash after reportedly ending up $US20 million in debt for her failed presidential campaign.
“After raising more than $US1.5 billion during her failed election campaign and ending up with $US20 million in debt, it seems Kamala Harris is desperate for more cash,” Ms De Giorgio said.
“The vice president is still reportedly pumping Democrat donors for money weeks after the election loss.”
Gauteng Finance MEC Lebogang Maile says the R20.1 billion E-toll debt will have a significant impact on the province’s already limited resources.
Tabling his medium-term budget policy statement Maile says its impact will be more pronounced given the reduction in funding to provinces from National Treasury. Speaking in the provincial legislature, he has emphasised that there will be no job cuts in education, health or any sector impacted by budget cuts and debt prioritization.

The coming Russian debt crisis will rival the Russian financial crisis of 1998. The critical point is that Russia and the Russians must turn to the credit markets if they can not meet their current cash flow needs. If the credit markets reject Russian borrowers because of bad credit ratings (three Cs of credit), Russia and the Russians will be out of cash. To me, this is a debt crisis that will exacerbate the coming Russian Financial crisis. If you can not raise or pay/service current debt, that is a debt crisis. Although in the West there is higher Debt to GDP ratios, that is not as relevant currently as Western nations can raise new debt and meet their financial obligations.
Simply put, a crisis is when you can not pay your bills. This is based on the economic idea of scarcity, infinite wants, and limited resources. We all must make trade, and Russia will have to make a choice. The myth is Russians have limitless resources. They do not. They have a failing one-commodity mechanist business model. The choice is to reform and rejoin the international community of democracies and respect human rights or face a debt and financial crisis of historical proportions.
