Real Reasons Americans Are Limiting Their Spending

October 24, 2016

Two-thirds of Americans say they are limiting their spending, but few say it’s because they fear losing their jobs. According to a recent survey by Bankrate.com,

 

  • 30% say they're placing spending limitations on themselves in order to save more;
  • 25% say it's because of stagnant income;
  • 15% say they worry about the economy; and,
  • 10% say they have too much debt.

 

Only 3% blame worries about job security as the reason for their frugality.
