Boo! Halloween is the fastest growing retail holiday

HOSTS Alec Renehan & Sascha Kelly|1 November, 2022

Listen On

Today is Halloween – and this year, the National Retail Federation found that American consumers are going to break records with Halloween spending – $10.6 billion. 

But as retailers get the pumpkins and costumes ready, it is clear that Halloween spending has gone global. In the UK, consumers are expected to spend £687 million. And in Australia, consumers are expected to spend $430 million. Alec and Sascha discuss the spending spree and who the winners are in the Halloween celebrations.

    Alec Renehan

    Equity Mates Co-Founder

    Alec developed an interest in investing after realising he was spending all that he was earning. Investing became his form of 'forced saving'. While his first investment, Slater and Gordon (SGH), was a resounding failure, he learnt a lot from that experience. He hopes to share those lessons amongst others through the podcast and help people realise that if he can make money investing, anyone can.

    When Sascha turned 18, she was given $500 of birthday money by her parents and told to invest it. She didn't. It sat in her bank account and did nothing until she was 25, when she finally bought a book on investing, spent 6 months researching developing analysis paralysis, until she eventually pulled the trigger on a pretty boring LIC that's given her 11% average return in the years since.
