  "Summary": "More data confirms that high and very high earners are largely keeping our economy afloat (alongside tech infrastructure investment, government health spending, and defense spending). In our economy, upper-income spending is driven mainly by investment performance—which is currently doing exceptionally well—so they’re spending. Middle-income spending is more tied to real estate values, which are under pressure in a frozen market, while lower-income spending depends on jobs, which are also under strain. If investment markets experience any significant pullback, consumer spending’s last stronghold could give way.",
