Consumer Spending Habits in 2024

Consumer spending habits in 2024 are expected to change as signs of spending exhaustion and hesitancy emerge. Factors such as the restart of student loan payments and higher interest rates may lead to a decrease in consumer spending. However, the long-term outlook for the US economy remains positive, with the growth and tightness of the job market contributing to eventual spending resumption in late 2024 or 2025.
