INTRO / SUMMARY
Watch this article as a video

Sign up at twitter.com/howmuch_net (howmuch.net) for financial and cost data visualizations.

American consumer spending trends over 75 years

This is a really important chart. It shows the breakdown of Americans spending over the last 75 years.  

I'll write more on this later, but consider which categories have a 'track' in place to drop the expenditures in this category. Education, going digital - yes. Food production, lots funding into this - yes. Transportation, lots options on horizon - yes.

Which categories have no solution on the horizon to drop the cost? Housing. Why is this a problem - take a look at the 75 year trend.

Note: This chart is for individual spending. Many of these categories have third party payers that are not accounted for here. Such as education (government), or healthcare (government, or insurance).

And don't forget, the value of Google and Facebook (currently) is based on their ability to exploit people's data & attention. Unlike Amazon and Alibaba which involve service transactions.
