Learning Objective

  • To analyze the long-term financial impact of debt.
  • To review debt management strategies.
  • To identify the difference between soft- and hard pulls and their relative impact on credit scores.
  • To discuss ways to guide your clients to better financial habits and increased investing.

Course Overview

You asked we listened!

Too many people carry debt burdens without workable plans to reduce that burden. An annual, oft-touted study measures the percentage of people who could cover a $400 emergency. In a May 2022 report based on data from late 2021, the Federal Reserve found that over 60% of Americans could cover a $400 emergency expense using cash or its equivalent. For example, some people said they could pay that sort of bill by swiping a credit card but paying its balance in full when its statement arrived. Still, others reported they could take a personal loan from a bank or a relative.

Of course, the bad news is that close to 30% of Americans clearly couldn't cover a $400 emergency using cash or its equivalent as of late last year. Making matters worse, the original $400 used in the survey was calculated in 2011; since then, inflation pegs the real amount of a comparable emergency at $1,400. A reliance on debt to cover a small emergency helps to illuminate a massive debt problem. The New York Fed's quarterly Household Debt and Credit Survey (HHDC) shows that total consumer debt stands at $16.5 trillion as of the second quarter of 2022. That's a record high as far as the HHDC goes.

Fabian Smith, EA

The presentation and presenter were excellent. She provided timely information in an effective manner which enhanced the learning experience. The pace was great because it gave me the opportunity to absorb the information before she moved on which meant I was able to retain and now pass along to my clients.
