When we talk about Americans barely into adulthood who are saddled with unbearable levels of debt, the conversation is almost always about student loan debt. But there's a growing body of evidence suggesting that today's young adults are also drowning in credit—card debt—and that many of them will take this debt to their graves. More than 20% overspent their income by more than $ 100 every single month. Since they haven't built up their credit histories yet, it's a safe bet that these young adults are paying relatively high interest rates on the resulting credit card debt. Although many young people blame "socializing" as a barrier to saving money, most of them aren't knocking back $ 20 drinks in trendy (时尚的) lounges. They're struggling with much more daily financial demands. To a disturbingly large extent, the young and the broke are relying on credit cards to make it until their next payday. This obviously isn't sustainable in the long run, and it's going to put a huge drag on their spending power even after they reach their peak earning years, because they'll still be paying interest on that bottle of orange juice or box of spaghetti(意式面条)they bought a decade earlier. A new study out of Ohio State University found that young adults are accumulating credit card debt at a more rapid rate than other age groups, and that they're slower at paying it off. " If what we found continues to hold true, we may have more elderly people with substantial financial problems in the future," warns Lucia Dunn, professor of economics at Ohio State. "If Our findings persist, we may be faced with a financial crisis among elderly people who can't pay off their credit cards." Dunn says a lot of these young people are never going to get out from under their credit card debt. "Many people are borrowing on credit cards so heavily that payoff rates at these levels are not sufficient to recover their credit card debt by the end of their life, which could have loss implications for the credit card issuing banks."

如果你出国旅行过，你很可能回忆到各国文化之间的风俗和礼仪差异很大：在这个国家这种风俗礼仪无伤大雅，但在另一个国家却显得冒犯至极，反之亦然。的确，即使你从不出去旅行，你可能也明白对于某些行为而言，换个国家真的接受不了：有的国家认为在饭桌上打嗝是对一顿美味的饱餐表达自己的赞美之意，但在北美和欧洲的大部分地区，打嗝则代表忿怒之意。
