Would that be the kind of consumer confidence defined by "bung it on the plastic and worry about paying for it in a few years somehow"?
No - it'll be the consumer confidence as described by economistsConsumer confidence is an economic indicator which measures the degree of optimism that consumers feel about the overall state of the economy and their personal financial situation. How confident people feel about stability of their incomes determines their spending activity and therefore serves as one of the key indicators for the overall shape of the economy
Judging by today's figures consumers aren't feeling confident at all?

BTW. I suspect you might the the type of person who has a large mortgage, and is quite partial to the odd bit of fun with a credit card or two. Not that there`s anything wrong with that, as long as you can afford to pay it back.
I have no mortgage. I/we own our own house/home. I earn more than £150k. I use a credit card to buy stuff on line and clear it at the end of every month.
Not that it's any off your business but since you asked....If you keep doing what you've always done - you will keep getting what you've always got.0 -

The fault lies with whoever made consumers over-confident previously. The over confident person will often be dissapointed when their confidence isn`t realised.
The realistic person will probably lead a reasonably happy life.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -
