Average Annual Spending for U.S. Households Led by People in Their 30s
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2024 Consumer Expenditure Survey, households led by individuals aged 30–39 spend an average of $85,114 annually ($7,093 per month). The largest expenses include housing and transportation, which together account for about half of total spending. This reflects a shift toward more established financial commitments as people in their 30s take on mortgages, car payments, and family-related costs.
