The average personal amount of savings are between $ 2,900 for the USA and ¥ 5,806,554 for Japan. The USA comes last in our ranking, but their neighbor Canada is one of the richest countries regarding personal savings.

I don't think that this metric is bad for the US citizens.
We need to know where those money go to. Do they shop or do they invest them? If the latter happens, then this is a crucial factor which provides growth to their income.

US tax and mortgages consume large percentage of the income though they seem to have one of the highest income in the world. US citizen also have a bad spending habit. They get into debt early and pay all the their lives. Their risk taking ability into making more money is lower in US citizens than for foreigners.
