Who's Spending, Who's Not!

Per the chart, it shows you who is spending and who is not.

The highest-earning 20% of people in the US now account for a huge 40% of all consumer spending.

On the other hand, the lowest-earning 20% of people only account for 9% of consumer spending.

Even if you add up the bottom 40% of incomes in the US, they still only account for 22% of consumer spending, compared to 61% for the top 40%.
