High-income Americans keep spending despite shaky economy

Original: Here's how high-income Americans keep spending in a shaky economy

A new USA Today report examines how high-income Americans continue to spend robustly even as the broader economy shows signs of strain. Well-off households, cushioned by savings, investments and rising asset values, are less exposed to price pressures and job worries than lower-income consumers, and their continued spending is helping keep parts of the economy afloat. Commenters are weighing what this wealth-driven consumption means for the rest of the country.

Why now: Wealthy consumers' resilience contrasts with broader economic anxiety, making it a talking point about inequality and the economy.
