According to a Bank of America report cited by Investopedia, U.S. consumer finances may be in better shape due to reduced spending, which has led to increased savings and lower debt levels. The report indicates that consumer spending has been below pre-COVID levels, contributing to a rise in the personal savings rate to 13.1% in June 2023, up from 3.4% in 2019. Additionally, credit card balances have decreased, and the percentage of consumers missing payments has dropped to 1.5%, the lowest since April 2022. Bank of America suggests that these trends could help consumers weather potential economic downturns, although they caution that the situation could change if spending patterns shift back to pre-COVID norms.
