Americans Say They're Ready to Shop Again

When asked what they would do with $500 of found money, a third of consumers said they would apply it to monthly bills. As a subset, however, more young professionals than affluent respondents said they would use the loot to go shopping for non-essential items (16% versus 6%).

Asked about purchases over $500, young professionals once again showed the most willingness to spend. Only 15% of the general population said they plan to make a large purchase in the next 30 days. By contrast, 38% of young professionals not only said they would, but planned to spend more on those purchases ($2,460) than their affluent counterparts ($2,170).



Outside a new day is dawning
Outside suburbia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby
New York to east California
There's a new wave coming I warn you
