Sunday is Father's Day. And if you just go by how much people are spending . . . I guess we love our dad about 15% LESS than we love our mom.
The average person will spend $190 on Dad this year compared to the $219 we spent on Mother's Day last month. Here are six more Father's Day stats . . .
1. 55% of Americans will celebrate Father's Day this year in one way or another. Another 7% said maybe.
2. 52% will buy a gift . . . 40% are planning a meal or celebration . . . 19% are going out for dinner . . . 27% will do a phone call or video chat . . . and 39% will buy a card.
3. Over half of us will do something for our own dad, but he's not the only person we're celebrating. 37% will also do something for their husband or partner . . . 11% will do something for their father-in-law . . . and 7% said their grandfather.
4. The top money-related things we've asked our dad for help with are: Buying a car . . . career advice . . . budgeting . . . and buying a house.
5. Over half of us think Father's Day is a "real" holiday we should celebrate. 35% think it's just a commercial holiday we've all been pressured into, so companies can make money off it.
6. One in five dads – that’s 20% - say they've been DISAPPOINTED on Father's Day before, because their family didn't do enough.
