Did you know...

The average adult in the USA spends $1,497 per month on non-essential items,
according to research commissioned by Ladder and
Conducted by OnePoll.

That's $18,000 a year on things we can do without.

The top three are: Restaurants $210/ mo.
Drinks $185/mo
Take- out or delivery $175/ mo.

Some others: Impulse purchases $108/ mo.
Personal grooming $95/ mo
Online shopping $85/ mo.

There's nothing wrong with a few luxuries
Here and there to make life enjoyable.

Where does jewelry "rank"...on the list?

[Gem Lover]

Most of my non essential would be jewelry.

..
My total monthly income is almost $400 less than this figure, so not me!!!

No date was stated when that poll was...

During these times..I can't believe Restaurants would be at the top of the list
So many have closed...or will not re-open

It would be interesting to see what "tops the list" with now "staying at home"

Home deliveries, I heard is "up"
And probably utilities

Online shopping!

Rolltide:
I know what you mean...when this all started..
I happened to find ,by accident, SHlc on tv
And THE shopping began.

Shopping
And "Went crazy" winning a bit on RA
Did I say...shopping...
It was like a sport..who could/would win

you might say, I was thinking ahead (subconsciously)
Can give some things as Christmas gifts.

But, we're all in this together
And " have to make the best of it"
Thanks for sharing!
