Will Inflation Impact Holiday Shopping Habits in America?

A survey conducted by Clever Real Estate has found that inflation may have a large impact on how much Americans spend while shopping for the holidays. Out of 1,000 participants, 61% said that they will need to adjust their holiday spending and 39% said they can’t afford to shop. Additionally, nearly 1 in 10 Americans said they plan to skip holiday shopping all together. However, the retail market is not likely to take a big hit – 91% of Americans said they still plan to go ahead with their holiday shopping this year.
