Three out of four Americans will stay home for the holiday due to costs.
A William Paterson professor says if you want music food and drinks for your New Year’s Eve celebrations, you could be paying $200-$500.
“Consumers in the United States are very resilient, if you are to compare what you paid last year to this year in the same amount same products, inflation is 2.7% higher,” says Alex Panayides, a William Paterson finance professor.
That’s higher than the Federal Reserve’s goal of 2%, but not nearly as bad as the 10% figures Americans endured in recent years.
