If it's disposable income, it doesn't matter if you put it in a pile and set it on fire, or choose to do home renovations. The fact that it's disposable means that it's left over after all of your necessities are taken care of.

Which would probably a better point of comparison as disposable income is greatly skewed by how necessities are taken care of (aka how much is handled by the state — and thus through taxes — versus left to the individual).
- pbourke 7y agoThe definition of disposable income here is merely income net of taxes.
