That really really depends. In many societies, people spend their young adulthood gathering resources to get married (high savings rate), then marry and have children (low or negative savings rate) and then have further fluctuations. In Anglo countries today, it is often people over 50 who have a lot of disposable income. Someone of Average wealth with no dependents should have a significant amount of disposable income.
