請把下麵的漢語翻譯成英文：

幾十年前，仍對大蕭條心有餘悸的美國人也曾是儲蓄大戶。不過，嬰兒潮一代人沒有經曆過大蕭條，在信用卡催生的“為什麽等待、現在就消費”文化的誘惑下，走上了瘋狂消費之路。

英語原文：

Decades ago, Americans, scarred by the memories of the Depression, were big savers. But the baby boom generation, free of the scars of the Depression - and lured by the why-wait, buy-now culture fostered by credit cards -- went on buying binges.
