In the JA survey, teens reported a significant drop in parents saving as a result of the recession 21% this year vs. 59% last year. As you might expect, teens are modeling that behavior. Just 56% plan to save some of their income, down from 89% a year ago, according to JA. It s not just a plan; it s happening, according to the Pew Research Center, which found that young adults are getting a slower start saving for retirement.
It should come as no surprise then that fewer teens are practicing sound money management skills. JA found a three-fold increase in teens that report not budgeting. This largely confirms a separate survey by Schwab, which found a sharp fall off in teen money management ability. According to that survey, just a quarter of 18-year-olds know how to manage a credit card down from two-thirds. Less than half know how to check the accuracy of a bank statement down from 60%.
This all represents a huge setback in the push for a more financially literate population, which many see as our best hope for staving off another financial crisis. In this environment, debilitating teen money myths are sure to persist.
setback n. 挫折;退步
stave off 避开;延缓
