A new report from The Conference Board indicates that the U.S. national debt, which has reached $40 trillion, could significantly impact household finances. The report models various scenarios, suggesting that homebuyers might face an additional $53,000 in costs for a home purchased in 2031 under a baseline scenario. Retirees could also see a substantial reduction in monthly benefits, with shortfalls potentially reaching over $700 per month by 2033 if trust funds for Social Security and Medicare are not replenished.
