Though the national savings rate is up from last year, researchers believe it’s a reaction to the economic downturn. Consider that personal savings is measured as income less expenses, which may not actually indicate any wealth accumulation or asset building. There is also concern that current savings, which is near historical average, will be short-lived.
To further support this concern, a recent study, commissioned by Consumer Credit Counseling Service, revealed that overall consumer debt has increased by 38% for households at all income levels over the last year. Specifically, Osceola County had the highest increase in foreclosure rates and credit delinquencies and ranks 3rd in overall bankruptcy filings in the state of Florida.
