dividend income) increased $10.9 billion, compared with an increase of $10.7 billion.  Personal
current transfer receipts decreased $0.1 billion, compared with a decrease of $7.9 billion.

        Contributions for government social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income --
increased $2.7 billion in November, compared with an increase of $5.0 billion in October.

                                Personal current taxes and disposable personal income

        Personal current taxes increased $6.9 billion in November, compared with an increase of $14.4
billion in October.  Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current taxes
-- increased $27.0 billion, or 0.3 percent, in November, compared with an increase of $21.2 billion,
or 0.2 percent, in October.

                                Personal outlays and personal saving

        Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments
increased $50.5 billion in November, compared with an increase of $26.2 billion in October.  PCE
increased $50.5 billion, compared with an increase of $26.2 billion.

        Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was a negative $95.0 billion in November,
compared with a negative $71.4 billion in October.  Personal saving as a percentage of disposable
personal income was a negative 1.0 percent in November, compared with a negative 0.7 percent in
October.  Negative personal saving reflects personal outlays that exceed disposable personal income.
Saving from current income may be near zero or negative when outlays are financed by borrowing
(including borrowing financed through credit cards or home equity loans), by selling investments or
other assets, or by using savings from previous periods.  For more information, see the FAQs on
"Personal Saving" on BEA's Web site.  For a comparison of personal saving in BEA's national
income and product accounts with personal saving in the Federal Reserve Board's flow of funds
accounts and data on changes in net worth (which help finance consumption), go to

contrast to a decrease of 0.2 percent in October.  Prices, excluding food and energy, increased less
than 0.1 percent, compared with an increase of 0.2 percent.
