U.S. credit card debt is approaching a record high.

Americans’ credit card balances reached $1.26 trillion in the second quarter, rising by $21 billion, according to new data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

That puts credit card debt just below the all-time high of $1.28 trillion set late last year.

Strong consumer spending is one factor behind higher balances. Rising prices for essentials like groceries and gas may also be contributing.

Delinquencies remain a concern. The share of credit card balances more than 90 days delinquent rose from 7.6% to 12.8% from mid-2022 through early 2026.

Total U.S. household debt now stands at $18.8 trillion. Auto loan debt also reached a new high of $1.71 trillion.

For households, rising debt is a reminder that everyday expenses, interest rates, minimum payments, and emergency costs can all affect financial flexibility.

The S&P just had its first losing week in a month. And everyone's asking where the heck Jackson's Hole is.

Custer Road is under construction, but our local businesses are still open and still serving. A little patience with the detours goes a long way. Show up for them now and they'll be here long after the cones are gone.

Sun, smiles, and a few questionable swings. Friendship is essential to the soul, and yesterday proved it. Proud to sponsor a hole at this year's Lakewood Chamber of Commerce golf tournament, grateful for everyone who came out to make it a great one.

This one's personal. Raw me tonight, excuse the editing, my colors and audio might be a little off. Recorded later than normal, without my usual setup. Just me, backyard, cigar in hand, hanging out at home. But I still wanted to get something real out to you this week. Questions about your portfolio? Link in bio.

I'm excited to be speaking on legacy next weekend. Look forward to seeing you all out there!

Is your business just a source of income, or is it an economic anchor for your community? 🤔

When we talk about legacy, we often think about what we leave for our children. But at BOBE, we know that a sustainable Black-owned business builds wealth that ripples far beyond the family dinner table.

It’s about community-wide economic empowerment. ✊🏾

As we wrap up our 5-part series for the 5th Annual Black Business Leadership Conference, we’re leaning into the true power of a thriving business: its ability to serve as a catalyst for collective growth.

Here is how your business creates a legacy that impacts everyone:

👉 Job Creation: You aren't just hiring staff; you’re providing livelihoods, building local talent, and creating opportunities where they are needed most.

👉 Wealth Circulation: Every dollar spent at a Black-owned business stays in the community longer, supporting other local vendors and keeping our ecosystem strong.

👉 Mentorship & Inspiration: Your success provides a blueprint. When the next generation of founders sees you winning, they know it’s possible for them too.

👉 Community Stability: A thriving business is a sign of investment and pride. You are building the infrastructure for a more equitable future.

This is the "Legacy" pillar of our upcoming conference: "Built to Last: The Blueprint for Sustainable Black Businesses." 🏗️✨

We aren’t just building shops; we are building an ecosystem of excellence.

👇🏾 Let’s talk impact:
How does your business give back or support the community? Drop a comment and let’s celebrate the work you’re doing!

Final thought:
Your success is the community’s success. When one of us grows, we all rise. 📈

Stay connected. Stay excellent.
