What’s In Your Wallet?
The results are in on the first few days of the holiday shopping season and depending upon your economic barometer you
may or may not be surprised. The fear was that the housing slowdown might dampen consumer spirits. According to one source in USA TODAY all indications point to a pretty robust season for retailers, in fact we spent 19% more over this past holiday weekend than in the same period in 2005. Apparently there was some moola left in the wallets of more than 140 million Americans who were shopping over the Thanksgiving holiday. Despite all the negatives we hear in the media the bigger picture seems to indicate that we are pretty well off.
Have a great week, embrace this holiday season and ENJOY, LIFE IS GOOD!
