Debt Ceiling Explained: How It Affects Your Personal Finances | Finance Dissected

Recently, the US reached its $31.4 trillion debt ceiling and is using temporary measures to fund expenses. The debt ceiling is the maximum amount of money that the United States government can borrow to fund its operations. When the debt ceiling is reached, Congress must vote to increase it, or the government risks defaulting on its loans and being unable to pay its bills. If the government defaults, it would cause economic chaos, with the value of the dollar plummeting and making goods and services more expensive. And that could affect a wide range of your own financial life. The government borrows by issuing securities, or bonds, which pay interest based on their risk level. Treasury bonds issued by the U.S. government are considered a benchmark for investments due to their low risk and are used to determine interest rates for other investments. Thus, US debt plays a central role globally, impacting finance, Wall Street, and interest rates. Failing to increase the debt ceiling could also lead to a government shutdown, resulting in furloughed employees, closed national parks, and disrupted services. This would have a negative impact on the economy, hurting small businesses and causing uncertainty. Join me as we explore this complex financial concept in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
