How the Average U.S. Consumer Spends Their Paycheck

How the Average US Consumer Spends Their Paycheck. Holy crap. $8K+ on transportation a year? The Snook and I spend maybe 20% of that, at most. We also come out quite a bit ahead on health care too. Of course, our mortgage payment is a lot more. A LOT.


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
