Savings Reach $24,572,000
A Year In Houston County
Because residents of Houston County accumulated a
record amount of savings in the past year, they are In
better financial shape now than they have been for
some time.
They salted away a greater proportion of fhelr In
come than normally, putting much of It Into savings
banks, savings and loan accounts, U.S. savings bonds
and the like.
A considerable part of their unspent cash went, also,
toward reducing their outstanding consumer debt, thus
improving their financial stability still more.
The amount of new money that the Houston County
population stowed away during the year in the various
types of savings came to an estimated $24,572,000.
The finding is based upon national data gathered by

the Federal Reserve Board, the Conference Board and
others and upon income and spending figures for each
area of the country.
The reports show that, for the United States as a
whole, personal savings during the past year amounted
to nearly s9l billion, or about 8.3 percent of disposable
income after taxes. This compares with $74 billion the
year before when the rate of saving was 7.5 percent.
The large nest egg of savings in the hands of local
families represents a treasure trove of addifional
spending power. When their confidence in the stability
of the present economic recovery returns and they
decide the time is right, this pent-up money could spark
a big buying surge.
HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL THURS., JUNE
r
Just how much a family saves or can save depends
upon its income, its needs and the amount It has left
after taking care of the essentials.
Those with very small Incomes find It difficult to save
anything. Families with $7,500 left after taxes have
been putting away about 3.5 percent, on average, those
with $12,000 net, 7.4 percent, and those with $15,000,
close to 8.6 percent.
In Houston County, in line with the general findings,
the amount saved came to an estimated $1,150 per
family, based on average earnings in the local area In
the past year.
In the State of Georgia, the average savings was
$l,lOO.
