Americans are spending $709 more per month on everyday goods and services than they did two years ago, according to Moody's Analytics.
Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi made the statement Friday on X, formerly known as Twitter, as part of his analysis of July's consumer price index report.
"To be sure, the high inflation of the past 2+ years has done lots of economic damage. Due to the high inflation, the typical household spent $202 more in a July than they did a year ago to buy the same goods and services. And they spent $709 more than they did 2 years ago," Zandi wrote.
