Who’s Most Likely to Overspend on Halloween?

Halloween may not seem like an EXPENSIVE holiday, but if you have kids it can get pricey.

According to a new survey, 75% of Americans say they’ll spend money on Halloween this year . . . mostly on things like candy, pumpkins, carving supplies, outdoor decorations, and costumes for kids.

41% of parents with kids under 18 say they’re “splurging” on Halloween this year.  So are 57% of Gen Z’ers.  The main motivation for parents is “making their children happy,” and the main motivation for Gen Z is FOMO . . . fear of missing out.

Social media is also driving people to spend more, likely on special costumes and decorations.

The survey also asked how people will celebrate Halloween this year, and the top responses were:  Watching a scary movie . . . buying Halloween treats . . . decorating their home . . . and dressing up to go trick-or-treating.
