New numbers how this year Americans plan to pull out their wallets even more this holiday season.
A consumer survey shows holiday spending will likely rise between 3.5-4% this year. It represents the fourth consecutive year of gradual increase.
Experts say that is a sign many Americans may be a little more confident about their financial situation.
"Put differently, our holiday spending survey has shown four years of improvement in a row following the abysmal readings of 2008," Chief Economist Bill Hampel said.
The number of Americans who said they would spend more rose from 8% to 12% over last year. More people surveyed also said their financial situation was better this year.
