The U.S. national debt has surpassed $40 trillion for the first time. 🇺🇸💰

That’s $40,000,000,000,000 — a number almost impossible to comprehend.

To put it into perspective, that’s roughly $120,000 per person in the U.S. 🤯

But that doesn’t mean every American personally owes $120,000. It’s simply the national debt divided by the population.

So how did it get this high?

When the U.S. government spends more than it collects in revenue, it borrows money to cover the difference. Over decades, those deficits accumulate into the national debt.

And the government also has to pay interest on that debt, adding another major expense.

The debt is constantly changing as the government spends, collects revenue and borrows more money.

$40 trillion. Roughly $120,000 per person. And the clock keeps ticking. ⏳💸
