2021 Survey Results: The financial impact of the holidays.

The holidays can be one of the most exciting times of the year but we can’t deny that it can be an expensive time as well. We wanted to dig a bit deeper and find out the real financial impact of the holidays on British Columbians. So, we teamed up with the Angus Reid forum to conduct a poll on anticipated spending this season. Here are some of our findings:

 

Even though the numbers above show that many of us seem to be feeling more secure in our financial position this year versus last, it’s important to balance holiday spending with staying on course for bigger-picture financial goals. And we can help with that. Connect with our team today and together we’ll build the right plan for you and your life.

The stuff we have to say.

About this survey
The findings are based on a survey conducted by Coast Capital between November 3 to 7, 2021 with a representative sample of 518 British Columbian adults (in Greater Vancouver and Vancouver Island) who plan to participate in holiday shopping this year and who are members of the Angus Reid Forum. The precision of Angus Reid Forum online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within +/- 4.3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to, coverage error and measurement error.
