The Jaw-Dropping Holiday Budget for Missouri Families This Year

How much are you willing to dish out this holiday season? Well, a new ranking says a lot.

When it comes to Christmas shopping I always try to stay on budget. The word here is "TRY." I also try to keep things even with the girls making sure that I spend an equal amount on each. However, as they get older their wish list seems to get more expensive.

Toys, tech, clothes shoes everything seems to be more expensive than normal these days. I start saving as much as I can in the summer so I am prepared to shop til I drop.

According to a new survey showing how much people spend on holidays per state, it's shocking to see the results for Missouri.

How Much Do Missourians Planning on Spending

On overage Missourians spend $808.50 on holiday spending. This seems like a lot, but compared to the highest-spending state, Maryland, who spend $2,700 it's a pretty fair price. I would say Missouri gets off pretty well.

There is good news, Missourians spend less than Illinois. Illinoisans on average spend $1,300 on holiday shopping.

With the higher prices on everything I am shocked that not every state is over $1,000. Now if someone can find me deals on Lululemon, UGGS, and Apple I'll be set.
