thrift financial

Thrift can mean either the habit of saving and careful spending by consumers or the financial institutions (often called thrifts or savings-and-loan associations) that accept deposits and make home and personal loans. For investors, consumer thriftiness signals changes in spending and demand that affect company sales and bond yields, while the health of thrift institutions matters for regional lending, mortgage markets and credit availability—similar to watching a town’s main water pump to gauge how well homes and businesses can get what they need.
