3. Bobby’s Crazy Amount Of Credit Card Points
Timeframe: 17:00 – 33:00
Bobby transitions into a more serious topic, discussing the prevalence of hidden debts among Americans and the psychological barriers that prevent individuals from disclosing financial struggles to their loved ones. He cites a survey revealing that:
Bobby Bones [17:23]: "More than 80% of Americans are carrying debt with an average amount of $42,000. And 66% of those carrying debt lie about it to their loved ones."
The conversation delves into the reasons behind this secrecy, highlighting shame and fear of judgment as primary factors. Amy emphasizes the need for financial education from an early age to combat these issues:
Amy Brown [19:30]: "I just feel like some of that stuff should start being taught in school at an early age."
Bobby shares his personal stance on credit card usage, revealing his immense accumulation of points due to his cautious spending habits:
Bobby Bones [25:46]: "I got millions. I have millions of points because I'm so scared."

Bobby Bones [21:02]: "US consumers face average credit card APRs around 21% in 2024. That's the rich taking advantage of the poor."
