The CNBC Millionaire Survey, which surveys those with investible assets of $1 million or more, suggests that inflation and rising borrowing costs are working their way up the wealth ladder. While inflation hits the middle-class and lower-income groups hardest, rising interest rates are starting to squeeze more affluent, younger consumers, especially for big-ticket items.
美國消費者新聞與商業(yè)頻道的百萬富翁調(diào)查的對象是可投資資產(chǎn)在100萬美元以上的人，這意味著通貨膨脹和貸款成本提高已經(jīng)影響到了高收入階層。盡管通貨膨脹對中產(chǎn)階級和低收入群體打擊最嚴重，但利率上調(diào)也開始讓比較富裕的年輕消費者捂緊錢袋子，尤其是大宗消費。
Millennials are three times more likely to be cutting back on big purchases compared with their baby boomer counterparts, according to the survey.
調(diào)查顯示，相比嬰兒潮一代的百萬富翁，千禧一代百萬富翁減少大宗消費的可能性要高出兩倍。
"The millennial millionaires are clearly dealing with something they've never experienced,” said George Walper, president of Spectrem Group, which conducts the survey with CNBC. “As a result, they are changing their behaviors and spending plans.”
與美國消費者新聞與商業(yè)頻道合作開展這一調(diào)查的光譜國際集團總裁喬治·瓦爾波稱：“千禧一代的百萬富翁顯然從未遇到過這種情況。因此，他們正在改變自己的行為和開支計劃�！�
Spectrem Group and the survey consider respondents born in 1982 or later, those currently aged 40 and younger, to be millennials. Respondents born between 1948 and 1965, aged 57 to 75, were considered baby boomers.
光譜集團和本次調(diào)查認為1982年以后出生的、當前年齡小于(含)40歲的受訪者是千禧一代;1948年到1965年出生的、年齡在57歲至75歲之間的受訪者是嬰兒潮一代。
Inflation and rising rates have created two separate but related spending constraints for affluent consumers.
通貨膨脹和利率上調(diào)在兩個彼此獨立又相互關聯(lián)的方面制約了富有階層的消費。
Inflation has driven up the prices of luxuries such as dining out, plane tickets, hotels and even certain monthly subscriptions. According to the survey, 39% of millennial millionaires have cut back on dining out because of higher inflation. Thirty-six percent have cut back on vacations, and 22% have cut down on driving.
通貨膨脹抬高了奢侈品及奢侈享受的價格，比如外出就餐、機票、酒店甚至部分月度訂閱服務。調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，39%的千禧一代百萬富翁因為通脹加劇已經(jīng)減少了外出就餐。36%的人減少了度假次數(shù)，22%的人減少了開車出行。
At the same time, the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes have jacked up the cost to borrowing, especially for homes and cars. The central bank on Wednesday raised its benchmark rate to a range of 1.5%-1.75% and said another hike could come in July.
與此同時，美聯(lián)儲上調(diào)利率導致貸款成本升高，尤其是購房購車貸款。6月15日美聯(lián)儲將基準利率上調(diào)至1.5%到1.75%，并表示7月份還可能加息。

Forty-four percent of millennial respondents said higher rates have caused them to delay purchasing a new home, compared with only 6% of baby boomers. Nearly half of millennial millionaires said they are delaying purchase of a car because of higher rates — more than double the rate of baby boomers.
44%的千禧一代受訪者表示利率上調(diào)促使他們推遲購買新房產(chǎn)，相比之下只有6%的嬰兒潮一代有這一情況。近半數(shù)千禧一代百萬富翁表示，他們因為利率上調(diào)而推遲購買汽車，這一比例是嬰兒潮一代百萬富翁的兩倍多。
Millennials are typically key drivers of sales growth for both homes and cars.

美國消費者新聞與商業(yè)頻道的百萬富翁調(diào)查是5月份開展的，在美聯(lián)儲最近一次加息之前。調(diào)查涵蓋了近750名受訪者，據(jù)稱他們都在家里掌有財政大權或共同掌握財政大權。
Millennials appear more optimistic with their investments than older millionaires, however: 55% of millennial millionaires said inflation will last less than a year, compared with nearly two-thirds of baby boomers who said it will last at least a year or two. Forty percent of millennials surveyed plan to buy more stocks as inflation accelerates, compared with just 11% of boomers.

Millennials are also more sanguine about inflation’s impact on their stock returns: Nearly 90% of millennial respondents are “confident” or “somewhat confident” in the Fed’s ability to manage inflation — a stark contrast to the 38% of baby boomers who are “not at all confident.”
千禧一代對于通貨膨脹對自己股票收益的影響也更樂觀：近90%的千禧一代受訪者對于美聯(lián)儲控制通貨膨脹的能力“有信心”或“有一點信心”，與38%的嬰兒潮一代的“完全沒信心”形成了鮮明對比。
More than 70% of millennial millionaires believe the economy will be stronger or even “much stronger” at the end of 2022, compared with two-thirds of boomers who said it will be weaker or “much weaker.”
