How to add two variables with one conditions each using graph bar

[Natalia Garrido]

I would like to graph two variables with one condition each. For example, I would like to graph wage and savings, but when wage is greater than 3 and when savings is greater than 50.

I am trying:

graph bar (percent) wages savings if savings==0

However, the graph that i get not only conditions savings by the condition, but also wages. In other words, it graphs all wages that correspond to savings greater than 0. I only want it to condition the variable savings and not wages. What can I do?

This seems contradictory to me.

1. when wage is greater than 3 and when savings is greater than 50

2.

graph bar (percent)  wages savings if savings == 0

3.

[This graph shows} all wages that correspond to savings greater than 0

These all say different things, but setting aside the qualifier that you want and the qualifier you used, I can't see that

graph bar (percent) wages savings 

is in any way a helpful graph. I can't easily guess what you want here: perhaps a histogram or two histograms. Wages and savings are different dimensionally, which adds to the puzzle.
