Hey, Sean. Hey, Elizabeth. And after I run down what's happening with debt payments right now, I'm hoping, Sean, that you can put on your CFP hat to dispense some wisdom.

As Elizabeth mentioned, it's a bit grim for debt holders right now. Keep in mind that there's always a lag when it comes to economic data, including consumer trends. With that said, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's most recent household debt report shows that total household debt increased by $93 billion in the last quarter of 2024, to a total of $18.04 trillion.

It seems like borrowers are missing payments more often. Those with less disposable income or lower credit tend to be the borrowers who have more difficulty meeting payments. Delinquency payments tend to rise when people take on more debt than they can repay, when lenders loosen credit standards and extend credit to riskier borrowers, when inflation is high, and during economic downturns.

Again, since there are delays in data reporting, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly why delinquencies are happening, but usually it's due to a perfect storm situation.

Recent data from the Mortgage Bankers Association shows that delinquency rates on government housing loans, that's federal housing administration or FHA loans, as well as Department of Veteran Affair loans, outpaced late payments on conventional mortgages in the fourth quarter of last year. The report showed that delinquencies on conventional mortgages remained near historic lows.

Now, government loans like VA and FHA loans are available for people who most need it, including first-time homebuyers, seniors who own their homes, and people who are buying manufactured homes. All of those borrowers tend to have lower incomes or little savings for a down payment, and that means that they're less insulated from financial shocks.
