In response to our Wildcard question, 40% of respondents said they have (in
the past 2 years) or intend to refinance their mortgage and 60% are not
refinancing. Of those refinancing one-fifth, or 20%, are using their
refinancing savings to make new purchases such as home improvements and
cars. Among the remaining 80%, 15% are paying off credit card debt, 20%
paying off other debts (cars, college, etc.), and 31% are increasing their
savings. Consumers' caution is noteworthy, as only 20% plan to spend the
proceeds from their refinancings. Many economists have been expecting
stronger consumer spending from refinancings, but this explains why
consumer spending remains restrained.
