American disposable income is shrinking, which means more people will be eating at home. According to Investment Contrarians, “In September 2012, the real disposable income in the U.S. decreased by 0.1%. In August 2012, it declined 0.3%. At the same time, the U.S. personal savings rate is also retreating—down to 3.3% of disposable income in September compared to 3.7% in August.” How does this affect restaurant goers? Americans have already reflected a drop in away-from-home dining. Aside from the highest fast food consumption, Americans were surprisingly low restaurant spenders in 2012, compared to 18 other countries that spend more per year, according to the Huffington Post.
