Americans will spend more money this holiday season

US consumers are expected to spend more money during this year’s holiday season than they did last year, according to Accenture’s Annual Holiday Shopping Survey, which spoke to 1500 shoppers across the United States. Americans will spend 658 US dollars on average this holiday season, compared to 632 dollars in 2017. The survey also pointed out that Millennials (those born between 1981 and 1997) will spend almost four times as much as baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964): older Millennials are planning to spend an average of 779 US dollars this year.
