Three things I learned from Bundle’s latest report* on what we spend on fun stuff, like travel, cable (above), and entertainment:
1. Single men like TV. A lot. Why? Do you have to pay for premium channels to get porn? And isn’t that what the internet is for?
2. New Yorkers like to talk about how great New York is, and never more than when they’re somewhere else. Which is often: Out of all the big cities in the country, New Yorkers spent the most on travel in 2009. Also, weirdly, Detroiters spent kind of a lot, under the circumstances.
3. People who are in their late 20s and early 30s don’t spend as much on entertainment as people who are between 36 and 65. Is that because the younger ones are home with kids? Or just doing cheaper entertainment, like Drag Wednesdays at Bob & Barbara’s?
You could learn stuff too you know. The full report is here.
