With the holiday season upon us, here’s a little advice on what people don’t want to hear about over a cup of eggnog: your financial affairs.
In a survey conducted by Ally Bank, the U.S. direct bank and partner of Ally Financial Inc. (ALLY), 70 percent of Americans say they think it’s rude or inappropriate to discuss personal money matters in a social setting. This and other findings are part of a study conducted by Ally exploring how, when and with whom people talk about money, and how it influences their social lives.
“Budgeting, saving and spending are important lifelong activities, and we wanted to explore whether these topics are part of the conversations people have during social gatherings for the forthcoming holidays and beyond,” said Diane Morais, chief executive officer and president of the Ally Bank partner. “What we found is that when people do discuss finances socially, nearly one half of our survey respondents said they prefer to keep it neutral - for example, talking about price comparisons on goods and services, or where to find a better interest rate on a savings account.”
Ally Financial Inc. provides financial products and services primarily to automotive dealers and their customers in the United States. It offers dealer financial services, counting a range of financial services and insurance products to automotive dealers and retail customers.
