56% : That trend slowed, but the economists concluded, "to the extent that there is a meaningful impact from the resumption of student loan repayments, it is likely to be seen in spending by younger, lower-income consumers, and in discretionary categories (such as clothing)."
49% : Those are some pretty gusty headwinds, but there's good reason to believe the effects of a wave of student loans restarting might be muted.
49% : Bank of America economists analyzed card spending data and came to a similar conclusion, finding that households that continued to pay down student debt during the moratorium spent more than those who paused their payments.
