Americans are either having less fun or finding cheaper ways to do it. A Gallup poll about rising prices asked adults whether the amount of money they have “available each month for entertainment, recreation and fun things to do” has changed over the past year. Twenty-two percent said it has declined “a lot,” and another 28 percent said it’s down “a little.”

Among respondents with yearly household income under $35,000, 32 percent said their budget for entertainment/recreation/fun has gone down a lot.
