This year, the holidays are looking a little different. Tensions are high amid unprecedented world events. We can all be thankful during this time the economy has held strong, with more money being spent than ever before.

The problem, as reported by economists, is a lack of confidence in economic structure from consumers. Being called 'doom-spending', this kind of short term thinking spells bad news for the economy, a shame as it has until now been holding steady.

Nobody can pinpoint any specific reason why people are spending money they don't have, but some critics have pointed to wars, starvation, failing health, homelessness, and being actively targeted by the state as possible explanation for lack of consumer faith. However, economists disagree; the economy is doing so well, how could anyone possibly be poor?

More money is in the economy than ever, changing hands quickly, and fueling growth of future economic takeoff. So why are consumers spending like they're running out of money?

"We think the most important thing for the economy is voters to get behind Joe Biden." One economist who would prefer to remain anonymous told us. "And it's been surprising to see a lack of political donations from people who obviously have money to spend."

"It's just ridiculous." An estate manager who would prefer to remain anonymous told us. "People are spending so much on heat and food, and aren't saving enough for the holiday season. With the economy so strong, they'd be foolish not to spend even more for Christmas."

"They have some money, not all the money in the world." A stock portfolio manager who asked to be named but was denied says. "And that's a real problem, if they stop spending that money, then nobody will have all the money. Then what?!"

Opinions may vary, but one thing everyone can agree upon this holiday season: the economy is showing no signs of slowing anytime soon. Let's hope consumers agree, or we may see severe job cuts going into 2024.
