I wonder how many of that 76% did to themselves with their spending habits.
oooo ahhhhh I need that wide screen TV
Ohhhh I need that new dodge charger.
Ahhhhh we need a swimming pool.
Keeping up with the Jones's is expensive.
"Even more disappointing; The savings rates have barely changed over the past three years, even though a larger percentage of consumers report an increase in job security, a higher net worth and an overall better financial situation."

Too many wants are being purchased instead of saving. Americans pay a fortune for entertainment, deluxe communications equipment, etc.
So true. Where I work the average person is earning around 65 g a year. Yet many have no savings. They seem to have new cars every 3 years though, finance vacations and always go out to eat.

And much of it is put on credit cards at about 25-30% interest rates.

Same is true where I work. I pay for my vacations immediately at their conclusion..in full.wouldn't take one I was unable to do that with. Savings always comes first!
Democrats and the EPA put the poor, the middle class in the Back of the Bus. Obama's big concern is not jobs but illegal aliens (for democratic votes) and the war on coal. Why not? It's not Obama's job that's going to be lost. It's not Obama's family that might go hungry.
Have fun in 2014 coal state Democrats
