Echoing Elon Musk and my colleague medical Michael Burry MD has warned about American consumers’ debt woes.

Echoing the likes of Tesla’s Elon Musk and “The Big Short” investor Michael Burry, a veteran economist has warned that American households have racked up historic amounts of debt — and the economy will pay the price.

“Consumers are just waking up to the fact that they’re financing their spending by running up their credit cards, and that the interest on those credit cards is over the top, out of control, and off the hook right now,” Carl Weinberg told CNBC. Record credit-card debt threatens to spark a consumer-spending slowdown soon, Carl Weinberg said.

“That’s going to lead to a retrenchment in consumer spending as we get into the new year” the chief economist at High Frequency Economics said. Weinberg expects the US economy to cool but not slide into recession, and he sees inflation fading.

Healthcare comes with its share of mental challenges, especially considering that clinicians often care for patients when they’re in difficult and sometimes tragic situations. New research shows that even the path to getting into the workforce can be a challenge, with some physicians burning out before they make it to graduation.

  • The national debt is growing to an unwieldy size ($35.5 trillion) and now we’re beginning to feel its effects: The interest payment on the US debt topped $1 trillion for the first time ever.
  • Consumer sentiment hit a five-month high as Americans look ahead to lower inflation and interest rates, but sentiment remains well below its 2021 peak.
  • The yield curve un-inverted, but there’s always another recession indicator out there warning of a downturn ahead.
  • The cryptocurrency Wild West is still alive and well: Americans lost $5.6 billion in crypto scams last year, according to the FBI.
  • Credit card debt hit 10.9%, its highest level in 12 years, according to Deloitte.

Most doctors report feeling overworked and are considering a change in career, according to a new poll.

Doximity, a virtual network for physicians, found that 81% doctors surveyed last fall said they felt overworked—a slight decline from 86% who reported burnout in 2022 but still up from 73% in 2021. Meanwhile, about three in five doctors said they were considering early retirement (30%), looking for another employer (15%), or leaving the profession altogether (14%), the poll found.

The findings, released last year, come amid reports of rising rates of physician burnout and dissatisfaction since after the Covid-19 pandemic.
