What Exactly Is the January Slump? Definition by Reservar Zona Común
We know that January is the first month of the year, and well, a “cuesta” (slope) is a terrain on an incline that is difficult to climb. Therefore, it is “the period of economic difficulties that coincides with this month as a consequence of the extraordinary expenses made during the Christmas holidays,” according to the RAE (Royal Spanish Academy).
Additionally, January generally brings readjustments in taxes and prices. Therefore, it is a kind of financial hangover, since many of the purchases made at Christmas are done under the false illusion of “having money” that a bonus payment can generate.
