YOUR SPENDING PATTERNS TODAY
If you are a member of a typical city family, you are
spending a smaller percentage of your income on food and
beverages today than ever before. Food takes only about j
25-26 cents of every dollar, you spend, down from 30-33 cents .
as recently as 1950.
What it means: As your earnings have climbed to an all
time peak in recent years, the total dollar amount you spend j
on food and beverages has climbed to an all-time peak too.
But because you have so much more real income (spending
power after deductions for personal taxes and living cost
increases), you need not allot as big a proportion of income :
to this most basic of necessities. Even though you are spend-
ing a larger percentage on eating out, your food budget
is a historic low.
If you are this typical city family, you are devoting a j
record proportion of your earnings to your automobile. Of
every dollar you spend, your car Its purchase, operation,
insurance, maintenance takes 12-14 cents, up from 8-10
cents only 10 years ago.
What it means: This is a clear reflection of our affluent,
restless society. While you have sharply hiked your spending j
on private transportation, you have cut the proportion you i
spend on travel by bus, subway, train. If you live in a suburb, I
you well may be one of America's millions of two-car owners,
and your automobile is an important form of recreation for :
you as well as a necessity to get where you must go.
Again, if you are typical, you are spending a bigger
percentage of your income on housing today than on food
a revolutionary switch in relationships between these two
necessities just in the past 10 years. You probably devote over
30 cents of each dollar to this category, which covers every
thing from shelter itself to furnishing, equipping and oper
ating your home. A decade ago, housing took 27-28 cents of
your spending dollar.
What it means: This not only underlines the growing im
portance of the home in American life. It also indicates how
much more home we are putting into our homes. While this
has been a long-term trend in the United States, the reversal
of roles beween food and housing In this one decade marks
a milestone in our society's development.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has just completed ex
haustive surveys in seven major cities of how families of
city wage-earners and clerical workers spend their money
today and on what. It is in the process of completing studies
in 59 other urban areas to guide it in updating the BLS
consumer price index for the first time since 1947-50. The '
urgency of the updating is indisputable, for fluctuations in
this one index often profoundly influence economic trends j
and psychology. Since the "weights" given to the various i
goods and services in the CPI market basket have not been
updated for more than a decade, though, the index well may
be, as a Congressional subcommitce remarked, "measuring
a pattern of living that does not exist." !
Not until January 1964 will the new index be ready,
but these first seven ltudiei flash the signal of how the
markelbasket will be altered to give a more accurate
picture of what price changes mean to us from month to
month. To continue with mora clues ...
You're spending an all-time low percentage of your dollar
fnr clothing 9-10 cents against 11-12 cents a decade ago.
The same significance applies to clothing as to food. As your
real income has increased, you also have been able In reduce
the proportion of it devoted to this necessity.
You're spending a record percentage on medical care,
personal care, education. And while the BLS has not been
able to uncover evidence that the proportion you spend on
recreation has jumped, the explanation is that your spending
nn recreation is included in other categories on which you're
spending more the automobiles in which you take trips, the
meals you eat out, your lodgings away from home.
In themselves, the breakdowns of our spending palli-rns
are fascinating. Only an affluent society slashes the pro
portion it spends on food, boosts il on automobiles, cuts it
on clothing, hikes it on medical and personal care. That
society is us.
