Americans have already started to rein in their spending — and expect to pull back some more this year, survey shows

Monthly household spending growth, after hitting a series high of 9% in August, fell to 7.7% in December, according to the New York Fed’s latest household spending survey. However, that’s still well above December 2021 and pre-pandemic levels of 5.1% and 2.5%, respectively, according to the survey, which is released every four months.

Despite an expected decline in overall spending, the likelihood of buying a big-ticket appliance or electronics product in the next four months increased as compared to August while it declined for furniture, home repairs, vacations, vehicles and homes, according to the survey. A slightly larger share of survey respondents also noted that if they were to receive an unexpected 10% pay raise, they would put it toward paying down debt.
