Just a dictionary entry. Difficult to see any way that this could become a useful article. Tannin
As discussions on "US middle class" have taken on many flavors, if someone better versed than I would take the time, the significance of discretionary-income would be more apparent. Anyone, anyone... -- Walts0042 ( talk) 21:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Any reason as to why you just delete my work? AyrtonSenna
I honestly think you just don't want your article just to be a definition so you take my article's work into your definition. If what Tannin says is true then maybe both our pages shouldn't exist. Plus I had more to add to discretionary income anyway. AyrtonSenna
While this may be "just a dictionary entry", it's informative and gave me the exact information I was looking for when I came here. I think it should stay. Haddock420
Since this article points out that the two are different, why does discretionary income redirect to this article? Should it be renamed Disposable and discretionary income? ~ Rollo44 05:04, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not disputing the definition, I assume it's right. What I'm saying is that it makes no sense. I've always thought that disposable income is how it sounds - "disposable". As in, after taxes and all your bills/commitments are taken care of, whatever is left is disposable - and can be frittered away on trivialities, because it's disposable. Of course, after reading the page, I see that what I've always been thinking was disposable income was actually discretionary income. I just think it's a bit crazy that true disposable income is earmarked for various things that you must pay. 188.174.4.196 ( talk) 09:26, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

This is not at all my field (and first talk suggestion, apologies in advance), so I can only suggest, but could this article not benefit from a rework? Particularly for the disposable section. As a layman it seemed very jumbled. Some points:
Suggest moving to Disposable income due to more common usage HudecEmil ( talk) 17:58, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) BilledMammal ( talk) 23:48, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
Disposable and discretionary income → Disposable income – More common usage. Literature search for "Disposable and discretionary income" gives few hits. HudecEmil ( talk) 22:37, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
