updates: Black Friday sales saw a 7.5% increase in online spending compared to the previous year, reaching a record $9.8 billion. In-person sales also rose by 4.6% compared to last year. Cyber Monday is expected to be the biggest online shopping day ever recorded, with consumers projected to spend between $12 billion and $12.4 billion. Despite a decline in savings and an increase in borrowing costs, consumers are still spending. Key indicators such as low unemployment, wage growth, and resilient savings for upper- and middle-income households bode well for the holiday season. However, potential pitfalls remain, including record-high credit card debt and a slowing job market. While Black Friday sales indicate consumer health, caution is advised as consumers may be spending beyond their means. The article highlights the importance of considering consumers' bank account balances alongside their spending habits.
