A new LendingTree survey showed more households are more financially insecure than they were two years ago as about 36.4% of Americans expressed experiencing "significant" difficulty paying for household expenses since April.
LendingTree的一項新調查顯示，自今年4月以來，更多的美國家庭比兩年前更加財務上不安全，約有36.4%的美國人表示在支付家庭開支方面遇到了“重大”困難。
"It's troubling that one in three American households are financially insecure," said Matt Schulz, LendingTree chief credit analyst. "But it shouldn't be terribly surprising. The perfect storm of record debt, sky-high interest rates and stubborn inflation has resulted in many Americans' financial margin of error shrinking to virtually zero."
LendingTree首席信貸分析師Matt Schulz表示：“三分之一的美國家庭財務不安全，這很令人不安。但這並不應該讓人感到非常驚訝。創紀錄的債務、高企的利率和頑固的通脹形成了一場完美風暴，導致許多美國人的財務紅線幾乎縮小到了零。”
