DANA PERINO (ANCHOR): Let me put up for everybody to see here: “Compared to last year, are you spending more money on the following?" And 71% said groceries were certainly something they were spending more on, utilities as well. Gasoline is down, and so that is certainly helping people. But, just in general, Jade, when you guys have callers reaching out to you, are you hearing about this kind of pressure that they're feeling?
JADE WARSHAW (GUEST): Yeah, first off, thanks for having me. Absolutely. We're in a cost of living crisis, Dana. I think everybody knows it. We speak to more than 18 million Americans every single week on The Ramsey Show and I am hearing firsthand, yes, the price of housing, rent, mortgages, they're a problem. Obviously, we know that health care has gone up 6%-7%. I spoke to a woman the other day, the price of her health care is going from $400 to $900. Of course, that's more than 6%-7%. And then of course, we're finding things like daycare, obviously food, it's so expensive. The average American, as a result, is going into debt. And we're seeing more debt on consumers than ever. $103,000 of consumer debt is what Americans are paying, because these big three are still continuing to eat at our wallets: credit cards, student loans, car payments, Dana. It really is a crisis.
