Toys, games and hobby gear are on track to be less expensive this holiday season for the first time since 2020, while sporting goods prices are down this holiday for the first time since 2018, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)showed. To be sure, prices overall are higher in 2023 despite slowed price growth, with October's consumer price index climbing to 3.2% year-over-year. The figure remained flat on a month-over-month basis, signaling some holiday item prices may be slow to come down. Despite a dip in sporting goods prices, they continue to pace above 2019 levels. Walmart WMT.N said prices of general merchandise - clothing, electronics, furniture - had declined by low to mid-single-digit percentages versus last year, enabling the retailer to cut prices this holiday season.

Specifically, his teenage solution to his family's financial woes — a dry-cleaning company — sold for $1 million in just three years, setting him on the path to serial entrepreneurship, Henry said. As a doorman, he connected with a resident who ran a different dry-cleaning company, and offered to teach him the economics behind the business, he said. After getting fired from his doorman gig, Henry realized he was learning more at the dry-cleaning company than at school, so he dropped out, he said. Pleased with the work, the wardrobe supervisor recommended Henry's dad to NBC's "Law and Order." After three years, Henry sold the company to one of its vendors for $1 million, Forbes reported in 2016.
