We\u2019d like to find out more about your holiday spending plans this year. The New York Times reported on Friday<\/a> that the Trump administration is pivoting to an affordability message and considering lowering some tariffs rates.<\/p>\n

The administration has floated policies that would lower prices for coffee and fruit, spoken about a 50-year mortgage proposal, and Trump has mused on social media about giving Americans $2,000 funded by tariff revenue.<\/p>\n

A Harris poll from September found that 74% of Americans<\/a> said their monthly household costs had gone up by more than $100.<\/p>\n

We want to hear from you. Have you started preparing for holiday shopping this year? Or Black Friday<\/a>? How are your plans being affected by Trump\u2019s tariffs or economic considerations? Do you have cost of living concerns as we head into the holiday season?<\/p>\n
