Demand for student loans and car loans increased

According to the Federal Reserve, not real estate consumer debt increased by $ 7.2 million during the month of April, as consumers provided with leave to buy cars and paying for College. Goodbye, new productive.
It is the seventh consecutive month of increase in consumer debt. In other words, we can pretty much throw thousands of stories that have been implemented in recent years which suggests that the recession marked a permanent change in the psyche of American consumers: one where consumerism was outside and savings and savings. He did a nice story, but it won't happen.

We can take little comfort in the fact that the debt of credit card fell slightly for the second time in three months, expanding the recent development of student loan debt exceeding debt credit card. Clichés about knowledge food and education to a side, here the investment is the problem: credit cards are download it in bankruptcy and not student loans. In other words, for consumers, the worst of cases involving excessive student debt is much worse than the worst-case scenario with credit cards. As Elizabeth Warren, a professor at the Faculty of law at Harvard and Special Adviser to the Secretary of the Treasury in the Office of the consumer financial protection, once put it this way: "student loan debt collectors have power that it would be the envy of a mafioso".

Student loans have a capacity of people throughout his life: the prescription of collection of credit card debt makes a much less lethal form of financial struggle that student loan problems. Until people recognize the enormous potential risks associated with student loan debt, a generation of young people will continue to build the framework for personal financial collapses.
