The cost of what kids have now vs. Us kids of the 80s and before is way different. I never unwrapped the latest iPhone or iPad, or a PS5.

Great point

[USLegionary]

They have less money and stuff costs more. They lack confidence in the economy. Biden-economocs

I would say it's because everything is more expensive now, gas, energy and food.

[DubiousIntentions]

With high prices, only the well to do can afford to get anything for Christmas.

[SnowedIn]

Food prices have cut the amount of income available to be spent on other stuff.

I'm spending the same as usual but this economy is good for me, I'll very likely spend a lot more next year as I expect to generate more income

True but companies boast when asking people what they really are spending compared to last year

[pizzalovershouse]

They say less cuz they are afraid of more inflation
