From this graph as you can see from Jan of 1958 through Jan. of 1968 there is a decline in consumer expenditures due to the conflict in Vietnam. But starting in around the 1980's we see an incline in consumer expenditures as a percent of gross domestic product.

This graph shows how consumer expenditures in 1992 realted to every day life needs compared to other items. Only 27% of total expenditures compared to 73% of necessity items. This means that out of the average $29,846 expenditure only $8058.42 can be spent on other items.
This link will take you to the Bureau of Labor Statistics where it shows a graph of consumer expenditures by region in the year 1992.
