And despite the mortgage, we consume more on Christmas
Or not ... it all depends on where you read. Is the beauty of freedom of expression and the variety of means available to us, we have for the optimistic and pessimistic, just to see these headlines:
- Country: Christmas consumption grew 6% despite inflation and household debt
There is nothing to stop the consumption at Christmas. Buy at this time seems sacred. Despite rising inflation, interest rates and household indebtedness, sales have increased compared to the same period last year. Miguel Angel Fraile, secretary general of the Catalan Trade Confederation, recalled that a year ago at this time consumption grew 6% to 8%, and now lies between 3% and 6%. The figures are estimates because the campaign ends in Reyes, but the consumer is evident joy in Barcelona yesterday with hundreds of citizens with their gift bags with purchases. - The Economist: From Madrid to Miami, the drop in housing hits the consumer spending at Christmas
Spanish shoppers plan to spend less this Christmas, because the higher mortgage payments reduce the family budget.
Ya see, we could not agree on this, though of course, one thing can happen, we like the risk and made a reduced payment, you will value and let's stop paying the mortgage, at least that is what makes every day People who default rate exceeded the barrier of 0.8% in October and accumulates its fourth consecutive rise.
What think? Have you cut your budget Christmas this year?.
