Yeah.

So right now, national debt's at 41 trillion.

So let's break it down because the, the numbers trillions and billions to the average person is incomprehensible.

Right.

So let's, let's just say that you owe $41,000, and your income, uh, for the year is $51,000.

Right.

But you continue to spend $72,000 every year, even though, even though...

So what you do is you go and you get your credit cards to make up that difference.

Right.

And so every year, that debt that you're accumulating grows.

So to put it in pers-

And, and the inter- and the interest on it

...

A- and the interest.

So out of that 50, out of that $51,000 that you earn, uh, a fifth of that, uh, uh, uh, is going just to pay the interest on what you owe.

Not to pay it down, but what you owe.

Right.

But, but what happens is interest rates are going up.

So instead of paying a fifth of your income, which would, in this case, a fifth of your income would be $10,000, it's gonna take about 15% of your income.

So now you're paying roughly, you know, fif- uh, $15,000 out of your 51,000.

And then out of that 51,000 you have all your normal expenses that you've promised to pay people and everything else.

Right.

So to put this in perspective-

Pay all your other bills, electricity-

Yeah.
