$343B In Consumer Spending For December
I recently read an interesting article in Forbes about the 10 things that people are still spending money on at increasing levels. They also dropped a number that is absolutely staggering, $342 billion in consumer spending for the month of December 2008.
I don’t know about you but I sure as hell don’t need to make that much for me to do just fine in this economy. That’s over $11 billion dollars a day! $459,677,419 an hour, $7,661,290 a minute, $127,688 a second! Whenever you hear another news story where the reporter is talking about how no one is spending any money any more, thing of this statistic. During the course of their 2 minutes on air, consumers would have spent another $15,322,580 on all kinds of stuff.
Think of the post I wrote on ecommerce a little while back and again ask your self, how you can get a piece of that. Now think of this, by the time you finished reading this post, consumer will have probably spent another $5,000,000 or so.
