"Even as the cost of living surges and more Americans say they are
stretched too thin, they’re also spending more on impulse purchases.

More than half of all purchases are spontaneous, according to one recent report.

Social media doesn’t help."

"Americans are spending more on clothing, travel and experiences, the
report also said, and are now conditioned “to believe they can get
whatever they want, whenever they want.”"

Wait. What? You can't get whatever you want whenever you want?
I'm headed out for some mildly strange experiences soon. That's one of
the few things I can't get delivered to my door.
