After months of being unable to splurge on things like a vacation or even a night at the movies, experts say many Americans have hit a point of “frugal fatigue.” In fact, a new report by Comscore Inc. shows impulse spending is at the highest ever.With store closures and in-person shopping concerns, many consumers have moved more of their spending online. On average, they’re now spending roughly 25% of their discretionary income there.“When people are cooped up at home, there’s the tendency for impulse buying,” said Greg McBride, the Chief Financial Analyst at Bankrate.com.“I think the pandemic has moved us forward seven years in the last seven months, in terms of certain trends particularly towards digital,” he added.While online shopping has been around for a long time, McBride explained that in the last seven months, more retailers have gone online. Those already there have invested significantly in making their shopping experience easier and more convenient, so that people could spend more and more often.An easier online shopping experience eliminates the "old buffer" of someone getting in their car, driving and browsing around their favorite stores. The old way provided time to reconsider a purchase or how much to spend.“The tendency for emotional or impulsive purchasing can be really devastating towards your financial goals and unwind a lot of progress you may have otherwise already made,” McBride added.A little impulse spending won’t hurt, but these numbers are concerning some experts like McBride.“It’s really important to identify what is your trigger? Is it sadness, is it boredom, is it 'Keeping up with the Jones?’” he said. “Then developing strategies that can distract you from that.”Two simple strategies he suggests are, first, do not show up without a list or only shop for specific item. This goes for in-store shopping and, especially, online.Secondly, you should set a personal threshold for spending and impose a 24-hour waiting period for purchases above that threshold. It recreates a buffer and gives you time to sleep on the financial impact of bigger purchases. That impact could be more significant during this pandemic. 2179

ALBANY, Ga. -- Located in the southwest part of Georgia, the city of Albany, which boasts a population of 75,000, is reclusive.It is three hours from Atlanta and more than an hour and a half from Tallahassee, the city with the closest major airport. And perhaps that is why the city is so self-reliant and resilient.“This is who our people are,” said Barbara Holmes, CEO of the Albany Chamber of Commerce.In 2017, a string of tornadoes battered the city, killing five people and causing more than billion in damage.Only a year later, in October 2018, Hurricane Michael ripped through the area as a Category 3 storm.Then, this past March, Albany became Georgia’s hotbed for COVID-19 as it quickly amassed the highest number of positive coronavirus cases per capita in the state. Dougherty County, the county in which Albany resides, had 1,700 cases per 100,000 people, while Fulton County, the state’s most populous county where Atlanta is, saw 280 cases per 100,000 people.Like so many cities across the country, the virus hit Albany’s workforce hard.“The business impact was immediate, right? It was a swift arc,” said Holmes.“Our business volume was way off. People were absolutely scared,” added Tim Underwood, who owns a local restuarant called The Rocket. “It was very scary because in my own home that meant my wife was home with the kids. She wasn’t working and she wasn’t able to work.”What made Albany’s case of unemployment unique, however, is there were no guidelines. It was the first outbreak in the state, so local business officials had to improvise to stay open before guidelines were issued by the Gerogia Department of Public Health and Governor Brian Kemp.And that’s where the beauty in Albany’s survival story lies.Shortly after business owners noticed the rise in the coronavirus cases, and before the governor issued any orders, 12 businesses in the community came together to figure out a plan that involved voluntarily closing their dining rooms and moving to take-out only.“Our concern was not only our business, but our community,” said Underwood. “We wanted them to know we were there for them. This was what we were going to have to do to survive quickly.”Underwood quickly slashed his staffing, took a large pay cut and set a budgetary minimum of ,000 per week in revenue. He says that was the number that would allow his restaurant to survive. Anything less and it would have to close.Week one, Tim says he made ,027.“There’s many of our staff still only working part-time hours, but they’re still working part-time hours and that’s better than not able to work,” said Underwood.Because of the effort, not a single one of Albany’s stores has closed for good. Yes, workers are fuloughed, but there is hope that at some point that work might come back."You know, it’s inspiring and it's encouraging, but what I will say to that is it’s not surprising because this is who Albany is,” said Holmes.“We’re here to help each other, and I think that’s what gets lost in all of this,” said Underwood. “And I think that’s why, at least in Albany, when you see us coming out I see a brighter future." 3136
