Record Number of Americans Have Stopped Paying Their Bills (Video)
In this 2 May 2026 published video, host Michael Bordenaro talks about how a record 111 million Americans (roughly 40 percent of adults) were unable to pay their monthly credit card bills in full in 2025, continuing into early 2026, due to high interest rates and inflation. This financial stress is compounded by high debt-to-income ratios and rising living costs, with millions also falling behind on utilities. 68 million credit card holders are considered “debt-stressed,” using over 30 percent of their credit limits. Roughly 20 million Americans are behind on utility bills. In 2024, reports indicate power was shut off 13.4 million times. Additionally, 7.7 million borrowers have defaulted on $181 billion in federal student loans. Foreclosure filings rose 26 percent in early 2026 as homeowners struggle with taxes, insurance, and HOA fees, not just mortgages.
Nearly 1 in 4 adults under 30 missed bill payments in 2025, compared to just 9 percent of those 60 and older. High credit card interest rates—averaging roughly 23.7 percent—have worsened the ability to pay. Over 1 in 3 Americans are delaying or forgoing medical care due to costs, and many report skipping meals.
