Do you spend more or less the year of an election?

My spending habits do not change but I know of some people who spend differently election years.

 Do you spend more money or less the year of an election?

Re: Do you spend more or less the year of an election?

  • Um, no. My spending habits do not change whatsoever due to any election. Why would it?

  • Why would your spending habits change in an election year?

    I mean, I might give more money to candidates, but standard spending doesn't change.

  • What is the reason behind the change in spending habits? 
  • I like to stock up on extra ammo in case Secret Muslims become President.

     

    ... or not.

    But that's true even if it's not an election year. I honestly have thought about buying a gun solely because of zombies.

  • My brother-in-law was saying that his sales are not as good because it's election year. So, it made me curious to ask and start a thread. I don't spend any differently either.

    what does he sell?? I know gun sales usually spike in an election year because the NRA scares everyone saying that the big bad liberals are gunna take their guns... (which will never happen) but other than that, I can't think of any industry off the top of my head, other than maybe those involved in the military industrial complex, where sales would be affected by it being an election year.

  • I'm thinking of buying some noise cancelling headphones to block out the insane number of political ads on TV and the radio here.  Thank you, swing state.
