WoooHooo. Consumer spending is up, savings and income down…..

[quote=Dougie944]I have been a massive saver most of my life. Around 40% of my gross income on average.

I have found myself spending more money than normal over the last 6 months while taking advantage of pretty big deals.

Maybe there are more savers out there doing the same.

Good for you, Dougie, that’s great.

(No sarcasm. Really. Wish I’d done that.)

I too save about 40% of my (pre-tax) pay. I’ve cut back on my spending, since some parts of my income have dropped with the downturn. Probably excessively conservative, but I can’t stand saving less than last year, so I cut my spending back $1 for each dollar of (after-tax) income I’ve lost.

I can’t see that being possible with my income. Even if our rent was 20 percent, I’m guessing we’d still fail – easily – at reaching that threshold.
