A major challenge in economics and financial education is frequently the attempt to explain the disparities in household consumption spending. Household income determines the quality and quantity of goods and services that a household could consume. The amount of income available to a household is a major determinant of the disparities in household consumption spending. Although the role of income in household consumption spending is widely documented, other economic factors also contribute to the disparities such as accumulated wealth, price, taste, and preference of the household. Interestingly, these economic factors or economic knowledge are learnable and acquired from basic economic education. Consequently, this paper assumes that basic economic education knowledge predicts household consumption spending disparities. A presurvey of 120 out of 150 individuals participating in professional development training indicated that they have difficulties living financially well as compared to some of their friends with the same or less salaries and similar family responsibilities. After participating in basic economics education classes, a post-survey from the same participants was analyzed using SPSS multiple regression. The result from the data analysis and the progressions of the paper revealed that economic education significantly predicts household consumption spending disparities.
