đź’¨ Abstract

Despite financial strains from inflation and tariffs, 78.5% of Americans plan to maintain or increase their leisure spending. This trend, fueled by post-pandemic habits and social media, includes everything from concerts to vacations. A 2025 law now requires transparent pricing for events and lodging, helping consumers budget better. Experts advise allocating funds for entertainment in advance, seeking affordable options, and prioritizing unique experiences.
