📍Energy costs are weighing heavily on low-income individuals

📌In the U.S., the lowest income group (20%) has to spend about 8.2% of their expenses on energy (electricity, gasoline, gas). At the same time, the highest income group only about 4.8%
-> The poor are bearing energy costs nearly twice as much as the wealthy.
📌Energy, as a mandatory expense group (electricity, gas, transportation...), is almost impossible to cut back on. And Americans' income has been quite pessimistic over the past year.
