Why do we get so stressed out buying pencils and pants?
A new survey asked people which is more stressful: Holiday shopping . . . or back-to-school shopping? And believe it or not, more than one-third of people said it’s back-to-school shopping.
And there’s more . . .
- 26% of people say they expect they’ll take on some debt for back-to-school shopping this year.
- 32% will spend MORE than they do on their holiday shopping.
- And 23% say back-to-school shopping, quote, “has at least somewhat damaged their relationship with their child.” What? Back-to-school shopping is destroying families?
