Forget about being young at heart–the Americans who are most likely to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year are the actual young–people from 18-24.

More than half of people over 65 don’t care at all about the day devoted to expressions of love, affection and friendship.

Despite that, Americans are still expected to spend $18.9 billion–a record amount–for Valentine’s Day this year, according to the National Retail Federation.

The average shopper will spend $142.31—up from $133.91 last year.

Valentine’s Day is one place online shopping hasn’t taken over. More than 90 percent of people who plan to buy a Valentine’s Day gift will buy it in an actual store rather than online, according to  Horizon Media.

Even the U.S. Department of Commerce, a federal government agency, is getting in on the Valentine’s frenzy by releasing a fact sheet on all things related to the holiday of love.

Here are some tidbits:
