Last week, we asked: Is your 2014 summer spending greater, less than or roughly the same as your summer 2013 spending? Responses were a mixed bag, with 44% saying greater and 33% responding less than 2013; 22% are spending about the same as last summer.

Comments:

“Energy costs and airfare are higher.”

“Home improvements this year...we should have done this five years ago when the trades were looking for work. Now prices are up and wait times are long.”
