What we’re splurging on in 2022

Got some money burning a hole in your pocket?

A new SWNS poll found 70% of Americans plan to “have more fun” with their money this year and over the next ten years and to “spend more freely” instead of just saving.

60% also said they plan to go all out to make up for the stuff they haven’t been able to do during the pandemic…like traveling.

That topped the list on what we’ll be splurging on along with home goods and dĂ©cor, gadgets and electronics, dining out, clothes, concerts and other live entertainment,.

Not surprisingly, younger people were the most likely to have a carefree attitude about spending whereas Baby Boomers are more likely to keep their purse strings closed.

What will you be splurging on this year?
