Lifestyles Ideas Management - Are you a happy shopper?

The way you shop and buy the things could be an indicator of whether you are a happy person. The happiest shoppers aren’t those who bag the best bargains or the big spenders who bag the best items or even the penny-pinchers who have a hard time opening their wallets. A survey was carried out with 329 college students in New York and the results showed four shopping personalities:

Big spenders
Buy everything full price and buy only the best

Value seekers
Seek bargaining on nice things

Non-spenders
Don’t spend much and don’t want to

Experiencers
Spend freely on experiences such as good food or travel, but are not materialistic.

Conclusion:
Experiencers are the happiest while big spenders are the least happy with most credit card debt.
