In this episode of Your Money Call, Diane King Hall discusses the latest news on the job market, an overseas trend called revenge saving, and the state of savings in America. The job market data showed weaker-than-expected private sector job growth and a slowdown in wage growth. The trend of revenge saving in China involves extreme measures to save money, such as setting low daily meal budgets and finding saving partners on social media. The annual Bankrate survey revealed that more than one in four Americans have no emergency savings, but more people are prioritizing both paying down debt and increasing emergency savings. Diane suggests trying out the concept of revenge saving and recommends saving at least one month's worth of expenses to start.
