Documentary Video: “Maxed Out”

The title of this video “Maxed Out” refers to the maxing out on the credit card. It explores the credit card industry and Americans’ propensity to buy things on credit. The dark side is that credit card debt can sneak up a person. And sometimes the debt gets so bad that the person commits suicide.

The video contains interviews with Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard law professor who co-authored the book The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke.
