my brazilian brehs fukking up 
spending money on bullsh1t
Key stat: "The Brazilian consumer continues to stand out as the most optimistic across our survey. Barely 7% of household income is registered as saved and over a half of respondents suggest they have no extra cash for savings. Given the strength of projected real income growth, this is extraordinary. It is more typical of the countries where the consumer is being seriously squeezed than one where finances seem robust."

When you live in Brazil you dont need to save because you are already in heaven.
WTF are Brazilians spending their money on? Drugs? 
But yeah, housing costs are high in general in the U.S., but ridiculously so in places like NY and LA. And I'm not surprised that people in poor countries have to spend a lot of their income on food.
Looks like Chinese people really do save a lot.

I thought there must be a solid reason. Is food expensive in India or are the earnings that low that they are expensive for the average family? Do you know what the average family size in is India? Ie Husband Wife dependents.
food and many commodities are actually heavily subsidized the reason is just lack of cash. if you click through to the article you'll see Egypt and Indonesia spend more
I had no idea actually before looking at this article that Egypt had such low per capita income
as for your family size question.. it all depends.. we're talking about a massive country with many different types of regions and lives.. I'm sure the info is online somewhere though

The average "middle class" Chinese family has 50k(U.S. equivalent) in savings.

probably pointless consumer lifestyles... they're expecting continual income growth so they're just on for the rideedit: i looked up the original report and it says this:
here's a quote to back-up my claim:

I was
too. Restaurants every night. Imagine being to go somewhere to with 9+ people and only paying $5(US). That's unheard of B. Not to mention, females went crazy when they saw a U.S. bill, as well as a dieseled out brotha

question: why is housing so overwhelmingly expensive in america, but not in other parts of the world?
