In 2005 American consumers ordspråk

en In 2005, American consumers spent all their disposable income and also depleted their savings, resulting in a negative personal savings rate for the first time in decades. Chase wants to help reverse this trend for future generations. One important way to do that is to teach children about saving as soon as they are old enough to understand the basics of money.

en To a degree, belt-tightening strategies are a reflection of lifestyles in each region, and the potential for where the biggest saving can be made. It also reflects priorities - where consumers will look first to cut back, and also where they are not prepared to make concessions. In the US, the enormous amount of take-out food we consume, the billions we spend on out-of-home entertainment and as the world's largest user of energy, these three areas may be the big budget numbers that can be reduced without too much lifestyle compromise.
