SUMMARY: Holiday budgets in Louisiana are among the lowest in the nation, with Baton Rouge ranking 550th, averaging $567 for the season. Shreveport and New Orleans also had low budgets at $644 and $727, respectively. In contrast, smaller cities like Kenner and Metairie had higher budgets, averaging $1,375 and $1,323. WalletHub’s study, which analyzed 558 U.S. cities, highlights rising financial pressures, including increased credit card debt. Experts advise balancing holiday spending with financial well-being, suggesting realistic budgets and avoiding credit card debt. With a projected 2.5% to 3.5% increase in national holiday sales, creative budgeting is key for Louisiana residents.
