People’s ‘Nest Egg’ In Savings
Now Nears S3OO Billion Mark
The American people will go
into the decade of the 1960’s
a few months from _now with a
“nest egg” of S3OO billions in
accumulate long-term savings of'
individuals in life insurance and!
other mediums of thrift. .
This marks another major
achievement in the nation’s per
sonal thrift annals and provides
a demonstration of what thei
people can accomplish by volun
tary decision in the handling of
their everyday finances. The
record is all the more noteworthy
in view of the inflationary at
mosphere which has prevailed 1 ,
over so much of the last two |
decades—a period in which the j
dollar has lost more than half I
of its buying power. !
More Protection and Security |
Accumulated long-term savings i
of individuals added up to an
estimated S2BB % billions at the
end of last June, according to
data compiled by the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board. The
annual rate of growth this year
is approximately sl4 billions,
based on the showing in the
first half. The indications thus
are that the S3OO billion level
will be reached in the early part
of 1960.
A growing “nest egg,” of:
course, adds to the protection!
of the individual and family,
and increases their sense of fi
nancial security. Right now the
accumulated long-term savings
of individuals average out to
over $5,500 per household as
compared with somewhat over
$4,000 in 1950 and only $1,700
i in 1940.
But beyond the protection as
pect, savings perform two other
basic functions with a direct
bearing on promoting the pro
gress of the economy and ad
vancing the welfare of the peo
[ pie through creating jobs and
. opportunity.
! Basic in Capital Formation
The first is in the indispen-
I sable area of capital formation,
j the foundation stone of eco
! nomic growth. Ours is a high
, investment economy; and over
I the years a driving force has
j been the savings of the people
I channeled into capital invest
ment and into the nation’s credit
I stream by the life insurance
companies and other thrift in
stitutions. These savings have
not only been a major source

of funds to expand and improve
the nation’s private production
resources, but have also helped
to meet the demands for social I
capital to provide the new
schools, roads and other com
munity facilities needed to keep
pate with an expanding popu
lation. Looking ahead, such
savings will be needed in great
er amounts than before if the
nation is to attain the growth
promise of the future.
Personal savings are likewise
a potent weapon in our anti
inflation arsenal when expressed
in the spending and savings de
cisions of millions of people.
They can well become the de
cisive element in stabilizing the
(buying power of the dollar in a
period like the present when
the inflationary forces in the
economy have been showing
some signs of restraint.
How Total Breaks Down
An analysis Os the Home Loan
Bank Board figures as of the
end of June breaks down the
accumulated long-term savings of
individuals as follows:
Nearly SB9 billions in savings
accumulated behind .ife insur
ance, or 31 per cent of total
long-term accumulated savings.
:This figure is distinct from the
| face amount of life insurance in
force, which now amounts to
more than SSOO billions.
Over s6l billions in time de
posits in commercial banks, or
21 per cent of the total.
More than ssl billions in sav
ings and loan associations, or 18
per cerit of the total.
$47 billions in United States
Savings Bonds, or 16 per cent
of the total.
Nearly $35 billions in deposits
in mutual savings banks, or 12
per cent of the total.
About ss '4 billions in credit
unions and Postal Savings com
bined or approximately 2 per
cent of the total.
Other Personal Resources
The people at large, of course,
have very large amounts of oth
er financial resources, including
almost $24 billions accumulated
to their credit behind noninsur
ed pension and retirement plans,
and increasing equities in homes,
ownership of securities, and
holdings of currency,
j Over the years, covering the
four decades for which figures
'are available, life insurance is
the one major element in accu
mulated long-term savings to
show an uninterrupted growth
pattern. The others have had
their ups and downs at times,
with U. S. Savings Bonds and
Postal Savings lasing ground in
recent years while other sav
ings continued to grow.
