Americans Thrilled to Spend $20 Billion In Next 30 Days

Americans will spend a whopping $20 Billion dollars over the next 30 days and most of them are more than happy to do so. Why? Because it’s back to school time and few things spell relief like getting the little ones out of the house for several hours per day. $20 billion is about $2 billion more than was spent during this same time last year.

It’s hard to imagine that much money being spent on baby boomers when they were in school. However, it’s a different time and boomers didn’t have all the gadgets and cell phones that parents tend to buy today.
