United States Faces Push to Boost Personal Savings
The United States, a high-spending economy, savers only 5 cents of every after-tax dollar while 95 cents are spent.

The long-standing savings rate hovers around 6 or 7 percent, with recent years below 6 percent. Some economists see modest gains to 7 percent, or 8 percent by 1986, as goals.
