Interest Rates And Savings

One single chart: Ten year Treasury yields and the personal saving rate (ie the percentage of income saved).

The correlation is interesting.

From that point forward household debt/disposable income increased significantly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle-class_squeeze#/media/File:U.S._Household_Debt_Relative_to_Disposable_Income_and_GDP.png
