Bidenflation Has Almost Half of Americans Crying at the Devastation of Their Finances – Survey

A survey this summer by LendingTree has found many Americans are hard-pressed financially, even to the point of tears.

The survey, taken of nearly 1,600 Americans last month by LendingTree, found that 40 percent said their finances in the past year were so bad that they cried about them, with that figure rising to 53 percent among millennials, defined in the survey as being between the ages of 26 and 41.

Of those who wept over their finances, 46 percent said it was because they could not afford what their family wants or needs.

“It’s a very simple, yet powerful reason, and it speaks to the insidiousness of 📈Inflation. Most Americans want to be able to provide for their family. That gets much harder when the most fundamental costs of life — gas, groceries, cars — get pricier,” Lending Tree’s report on the survey said.

“When you can no longer easily afford the most basic of bills, it’s easy to feel like things are out of your control, and that’s often when the tears start to flow.”

Meredith Wilson, chief executive officer of Emergent Risk International, said food prices are a major drain on finances because costs accumulate along the way, according to
