Find out where the United States ranked, and what experts predict this means forconsumer spending.
Switzerland
Switzerland topped the list as the highest spending country.
United States
The United States ranked second when it comes to spending worldwide.
The U.S. also ranked high when it came to cost of living expenses.
Basic necessities like groceries and dining also carry steep costs, Kindness said.
Australia
Those living down under ranked pretty high when it came to spending.
Australians bring in $45,711 on average, and $1,731 of that is spent on e-commerce.
The cost of living is almost on par with America and groceries are just slightly more expensive.
However, going out to eat and what residents pay for rent is cheaper than in the United States.
That number is very close to Americas, though with amuch lower income.
Kindness explained that Americans might be spending less of their income on online shopping because of inflation.
Norway
Norweigans actually earn the most of any other country in the top five at $69,953.
However, the cost of rent is the lowest in the top five.
