The document summarizes the key events that led to the 2008 global financial crisis and warns of a potential upcoming meltdown. It describes how American homeownership became unsustainable as people took on loans they couldn't repay, leading to a housing market crash. This was exacerbated by many citizens living in debt through credit cards. Continued interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve mean people have to pay more for money they've already borrowed, risking an infinite debt loop. If wage growth does not keep up as the cost of living increases, this could trigger another global financial crisis similar to 2008.
