Interesting article. I found this part of it really interesting...
According to the good folks at The Conference Board, Americans are expected to spend an average of $449 per household, a dip from $466 last year. The New England spendthrifts will spend an average of $545 -- while relative frugality is expected to break out in the mountain region from Idaho to New Mexico, which will spend $348 per household. The real mystery is the sizable, almost $200 per household disparity -- perhaps it's the air and wide-open spaces.
To be more statistically specific, the older the household head (55 to 64) and wealthier (more than $50,000) will spend the most, averaging $508 and $631, respectively.
