Apparently, the recession is over when it comes to love or at least Valentine's Day. The average person expects to spend more than $126 on the holiday, the highest in the National Retail Federation survey's 10-year history.
But the kicker is that the average man expects to spend more than $160 on clothing, jewelry and greeting cards. But women will spend about half that, according to the survey.
Certainly, Valentine's Day is supposed to be the day for lovers, but the marketing is geared more towards men buying gifts for women. How did that happen? Is it fair?
Men: Do you feel left out?
Women: Do you buy your man flowers and chocolate? Do you pay half the dinner bill?
