The numbers quoted in the Yahoo article are nearly completely meaningless without being seen in context.
Spending has been dropping a little more sharply than incomes, so its not too big a deal that spending is up a bit, in my opinion. No green shoots here.

The May figures were inflated due to some of the stimulus. June is back to our nominal, sucky economy… less income, but we still have bills, so lower savings.
