The question is whether inflation will hamper the enormous spending power of Americans in practice. University of Michigan survey on the shopping mood of American consumers. It conducted a survey of households earning $100,000 or more a year. It found that the first half of February 2022 was the “biggest drop in confidence” in a decade. That's down to 61.7% as consumers start worrying about how high inflation will affect their funds. It found that about a third of consumers surveyed said inflation was affecting their finances. "Richard Curtin" chief economist who led the survey team said. This declining consumer confidence is important. because it is a sign of a long-lasting decline in consumer spending. which is worrisome for the US economy. Because consumer spending accounts for 70% of economic activity.
