Kathmandu. The U.S. economy now seems to be heavily reliant on the elderly. People over the age of 55 account for 45.3 percent of U.S. consumer spending. That’s the highest in 28 years. <\/p>\n
In the early 2000s, that number was only 28 percent. But that number has almost doubled since then. The United States is the world’s largest economy. However, the wealth gap between the older and younger generations is widening. <\/p>\n
In the United States, the share of people aged 54 and under in total consumer spending fell from 72 percent in 2000 to 54.7 percent. In the US, the gap between the two age groups has shrunk by 35 per cent over the past 25 years, and is on track to level for the first time in history. <\/p>\n
According to the Federal Reserve, 73.7 percent of America’s wealth is owned by people over the age of 55. In 2000, this number was 56.2 percent. <\/p>\n
According to data from Bank of America, the Baby Boomer generation is ahead of Gen Zee and Millennials when it comes to spending through credit cards and debit cards. Young people are facing costly costs such as housing and student loans. <\/p>\n
People born between 1946 and 1964 are called the Baby Boomer generation. People born between 1981 and 1996 are called millennials, and people born between 1997 and 2012 are called Genji. \u2013Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
