Every market is going to nuke (down)

I know a guy who killed himself because he was so buried in debt You'd think the bank just transferred the bill to his family They didn't. The debt basically died with him Let me explain what actually happens to your debt when you die: Credit cards, medical bills, personal loans. All unsecured. When you die, they get paid out of your estate, meaning whatever you owned. If you owned less than you owed, the rest gets written off. Your wife doesn't owe it. Your kids don't owe it. The bank eats every dollar and moves on The exceptions, because collectors will lie to your family about this: Joint account holders owe it. Authorized users don't Cosigners owe it In 9 community property states (AZ, CA, ID, LA, NV, NM, TX, WA, WI) a spouse can be on the hook for debt taken during the marriage Federal student loans are wiped. Private ones depend on the lender The house and the car go back to the lender. Nobody chases your kids for the difference Everything else vanishes. And within a week of the funeral, a debt collector will call your widow, say "we're so sorry for your loss," and ask how she'd like to handle the balance. She doesn't have to handle anything. Federal law bans them from telling her she owes it. They call anyway because grief pays The bank knows all of this. It's why they collect so hard while you're breathing. The second you're gone, their claim is worth almost nothing. So they call, they threaten, they make a $40,000 balance feel like a moral failure, because fear is the only leverage they have on a debt with no collateral And the part I can't get past is that it would have died anyway. For pennies. While he was alive. Here's what that same $40,000 actually is when you're breathing: At 180 days unpaid, the bank charges it off and sells it to a collector for 4 to 8 cents on the dollar. Around $2,400 That collector will settle for 25 to 40 cents. $10,000 to $16,000, and they'll take it in payments Chapter 7 wipes it completely in about 90 days for $1,500 to $2,500 in fees, and in most states you keep the house and the car After 3 to 6 years, depending on the state, they can't even sue He died over a number the bank had already sold for $2,400 If you're carrying a balance that makes you feel like he felt, it's a line on a bank spreadsheet that got written off in their forecast the day you missed the second payment. Call them. They'll take less than you think. The only version where they get all of it is the one where you keep believing you owe it And if you're actually in that place, call 988 before you call the bank

A lot of Miami “networking” is just broke people introducing each other to other broke people.
