**The chart below gives information about the ratio of income to spending (in dollars) by Americans by age range in 2013.**
This
graph compares how much Americans spent to how much income
they made in 2013, by age group.
The data shows an overall
rise and fall in both income
and spending between young, middle-aged, and older Americans. Income
rises and falls more sharply than spending.
Those under 25 and over 75 actually spent slightly more than they earned. In contrast
, between the ages of 25 and 64, Americans earned 10,000 to 20,000 dollars
more than they spent. This
difference shrinks in the 65-74 age group, where spending was just a few thousand dollars
less.
In terms of actual numbers, those under 25 or over 75 earned and spent around 30,000 and 35,000 dollars
, respectively. 25-34 year-olds and 65-74 year-olds both earned in the 50,000s and spent in the 40,000s. In the middle, between ages 35 and 64, income
was 70,000-80,000 dollars
, and spending ranged from roughly 55 to 60 thousand.Submitted by engroutine on
