Mortgage debt grew by staggering numbers. Housing loans make up the largest portion of American household debt as well. As the debt grows, the creditworthiness of borrowers is dropping. The median credit score for those taking out new mortgages decreased in Q4 2017. Auto loan balances continued to rise. Currently, Americans owe $1.2 trillion on vehicle loans.

It means we are leading for a recession. Don't be all gloomy. This is the chance for you to become a millionaire.
It means we’ve been pretending that we aren’t in a recession.
We don't enter a recession until the economy goes down. Right now, it is the opposite but one will happen soon.
