Overextended

/ˌoʊvərɪkˈstɛndɪd/ adjective

Definition

Committed to too many obligations or spending too much money relative to what you can actually afford or handle.

Etymology

From 'over-' (excess) + 'extended' (stretched out). This financial term became common in the 20th century as consumer credit culture expanded.

Kelly Says

The 2008 financial crisis happened because entire economy was 'overextended'—banks gave mortgages to people who couldn't afford them, creating a domino effect that showed how a single word describes both personal and global financial disaster.
