A growing share of Americans across every age and income group are pulling money out of their investment accounts to help cover everyday spending, according to a new analysis reported by CNBC.
The research found that transfers from investment accounts into checking accounts have increased broadly, cutting across demographic and income lines rather than being concentrated in any single group.
The trend suggests a wider swath of savers may be treating investment holdings as a more readily accessible source of cash for near-term expenses, rather than keeping those funds untouched for longer-term goals.
The analysis did not attribute the shift to a single cause, and further details on the scale of the increase or the specific investment products involved were not included in the initial report.
