The Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) [] **HOW AMERICANS SPEND TIME,** **CONSUMER EXPENDITURES** These data are used for economic research, health and safety, family and work-life balance, for international comparisons. I like this. Easy and informative.

[] **VALS Survey,** **Demographics and Behaviors** VALS uses psychology to segment people according to their distinct personality traits. I like this one. Interactive and easy to use.
