THREAD: A new AP-NORC poll shows that despite widespread job losses and business closures, many Americans have shored up their finances by saving more money and paying down debt during the pandemic. apne.ws/ZPl42Jj
The new poll shows that 45% of Americans say they’re setting aside more money than usual, and 26% are paying down debt faster than they were before the coronavirus pandemic.
