Many adults not saving
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 18th, 2019 7:51 AM Author: violent comical rigpig https://www.linkedin.com/feed/news/many-working-adults-not-saving-rpt-4376371/
Working Americans are struggling to save, according to a Bankrate survey. More than 20% reveal they are not saving “at all,” a figure that has remained the same since 2016. Almost half of working adults are saving something — but only around 10% of their yearly incomes (just 16% say they are able to save at least 15%). The low saving rate has been blamed on high levels of student debt, the lack of wage growth and increased living costs.

if u look at savings rate across emerging and western countries, its much higher than the u.s.: china, japan, india, germany. 20-35%. |
|
Date: March 18th, 2019 10:05 AM Author: Boyish azure site Some of these are not like the other. India and China - because they don't trust the government to take care of them, and rightly so.
Japan was in this boat post-WW2, and I think it is sticking. In general though, aging population = more focus on saving.
Germany: also was in a terrible state post-WW2, so culture adapts. |

I think it's actually more shocking that 60% of households earning less than $30,000 are saving something. Maybe it's $50 per month or something. I can't imagine saving money on that sort of HHI, even if you're a single man. |
