Types of Consumer Spending    

a Necessities         
"Necessities represent the food, shelter and clothing individuals need to maintain a certain quality of life." 

b Non-durable goods
"Non-durable goods last less than three years; these include gasoline, paper products and office supplies."

c Durable goods   
"Cars and houses are examples of durable goods, which last more than three years." 

d Luxury items      
"Luxury items include jewelry, high-priced cars and other items not necessary for living a standard lifestyle."

"...Significant changes to consumer spending in durable and luxury goods can be an important economic indicator. Consumer spending increases in these two categories usually represent individuals with higher income. Conversely, spending decreases may indicate lower individual income or consumer confidence. These spending categories can help businesses and governments determine if consumer spending is expanding or contracting based on the number of purchases."

    ADVOCATE
    advocate (n.) mid-14c., "one whose profession is to plead cases in a court of justice," a technical term from Roman law, from Old French avocat "barrister, advocate, spokesman," from Latin advocatus "one called to aid; a pleader, advocate," noun use of past participle of advocare "to call" (as witness or advisor) from ad- "to" (see ad-) + vocare"to call," related to vocem (see voice (n.)). Also in Middle English as "one who intercedes for another," and "protector, champion, patron." Feminine forms advocatess, advocatrice were in use in 15c."
