Achieve on LinkedIn: One Young Millenial Is Paying Off Debt With The Chase Slate Edge | Bankrate (2024)

🔎 New survey alert — 74% of Americans are feeling the financial burn of attending life’s big events. Despite recognizing this toll on their finances, most say they don’t share these concerns with loved ones.The "Cost of Being There" survey, conducted by the Achieve Center for Consumer Insights, sheds light on this pressing issue with key findings, including:·36% feel somewhat pressured and 15% feel “extremely” or “very” pressured to spend money attending milestone events for family and friends.·While most Americans believe participating in these events takes a toll on their financial well-being, just under half of consumers said they are comfortable citing financial reasons for declining to participate in these events.Sean Fox, President of Debt Resolution, explains, “You only have to look at the loud budgeting trend to see that younger Americans are generally more comfortable talking about their financial challenges than older generations. Millennials came of age during the Great Recession, while their Gen Z peers watched their parents and families struggle through both the 2008 financial crisis and COVID-19 pandemic. So for many, these topics are less taboo because they’ve had a near-constant presence in their lives. Despite the benefits of creating and discussing budgets, the cost of attending oftentimes pricey events can have a lasting impact on finances.”Discover how loud budgeting is reshaping financial conversations on being there.https://bit.ly/3Ly3yqh#welcometoachieve
