If you look to your credit card statement lately, well, it's actually unbelievable. You're working 40, 50 hours a week just to buy groceries and gas, things you use to be able to afford.

And the banks are charging you over 20% interest for the privilege. Well, think about that. Over 20%, it's designed to keep you underwater, but you don't have to play their game.

American financing is doing something. The big banks hate, they're actually helping people. Right now, they have mortgage rates in the fives. They're showing homeowners how to take their hard earned equity to wipe out that high interest debt. The average savings is about $800 a month. Imagine what you could do with an extra $800 a month. It takes 10 minutes to talk to

a salary-based mortgage consultant, no upfront fees, no obligation to see how much you could save.

And if you start today, you could delay two mortgage payments. That's immediate cash in your pocket

when you need it most. Give American financing a call America's Home Loans. 866-5669.47-11. That's 866-569.47.11.

$100 million building a bridge for forest animals. It's been four years and it's still not completed.

All of that and more on The Matt Wall Show. According to the most recent studies on the subject, the average American now subscribes to four different streaming services. Many subscribe to five or six or even more. Netflix alone has 300 million subscribers, which almost equals the entire population of the United States, not counting illegal aliens. And yet the surveys and our own experience tell us that most people aren't satisfied with these services and are only becoming less satisfied every day.

We all have the impression that it's just, it's too much.

There are too many of these platforms.

They're only getting more expensive.

And as the service declines and the one major promise of streaming that we wouldn't have to deal with ads has been almost entirely abandoned at this point.

People are experiencing a great amount of fatigue, streaming fatigue.

And what's more, it seems that these services are bad for movies themselves.

The art of filmmaking has declined, whichever one has noticed.

While streaming services are ubiquitous,

the movies and shows themselves feel somehow more marginal, less relevant than ever before.
