Men Men Men

Thanks to one of my co-workers at the fine news organization I work for, I was quite fascinated to see his breakdown on the following spending numbers for the month of November:

1. Seems like men will be very happy this X-Mas day while women are getting the short end of the stick.
   
2. Auto sales increased.
3. There was a huge jump in spending on electronics - major spikes in flat screen TV's and computers.
4. Jump in food spending - led by our favorite fast food joints.
5. Jump in spending on men's and boy's clothing - jr. and sr. metrosexuals, no doubt.
6. gain on spending on toys - not sure whether 12 year old boys or girls are more materialistic this year.
7. Jump in spending on brokerage commissions (male dominated profession).
   
8. And check this out - Wall St. folks (mostly men) will likely spend $17 BILLION DOLLARS in bonus fees to spend.

Boys will be boys...
