〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕美國最新調查發現,嬰兒潮世代中,近2成(17%)曾向成年子女隱瞞全部負債金額,只有19%願意向家人公開欠款情況。專家分析,父母不希望孩子認為自己軟弱,也想維持可以依靠的形象,甚至明明自身財務能力有限,仍勉強拿錢幫助成年子女,只因為不忍心說出「這筆錢我沒辦法幫你」。
CNBC Select報導,根據Accredited Debt Relief與Money.com公布的2026年債務現況調查,這項研究訪問2000名過去一年曾有負債的美國成年人。
結果顯示,嬰兒潮世代(1946年至1964年出生)中,17%的人表示,他們向成年子女隱瞞了全部債務金額,只有19%願意向家人公開自己的負債金額,向朋友坦承欠款情況的比例更只有9%,是各世代最低。
相較之下,Z世代(1997年至2012年出生)有34%願意向家人談論負債,千禧世代(1981年至1996年出生)為27%,X世代(1965年至1980年出生)則為24%。
調查也揭露長者的財務壓力。62至80歲受訪者中,有36%表示經常因負債感到壓力,28%對財務狀況感到不確定,另有16%坦言,自己因為欠錢而感到羞愧。更值得注意的是,30%的嬰兒潮世代受訪者表示,過去12個月負債金額增加,顯示部分長者的財務負擔仍在加重。
為什麼父母寧願隱瞞,也不願告訴子女?Accredited Debt Relief首席財務教育顧問Bobbi Rebell分析,父母通常不希望孩子認為自己軟弱,也希望維持可以依靠的形象。部分父母甚至為了幫助已成年的子女,明明自身財務能力有限,仍勉強拿出超出負擔能力的金錢,只因為不想對孩子說:「這筆錢我沒辦法幫你。」
Rebell提醒,退休後收入通常較為固定,因此與成年子女討論財務問題尤其重要。如果發現父母開始出現帳單逾期、生活品質下降,或帳戶存款逐漸減少等情況,子女就應該提高警覺,適時關心父母的財務狀況。
至於如何開口,她建議不要直接質問父母欠了多少錢,可以先從分享自己的理財困擾開始,例如詢問父母平時如何安排帳單、管理每月支出,讓長輩在不感到被指責的情況下,自然談起自己的財務狀況。必要時,也可以邀請其他兄弟姊妹共同討論,或尋求會計師、律師及財務顧問協助,讓家人一起面對問題,避免債務持續擴大。
