Representatives from Smart Cookies visited the ABC7 Chicago studio and identified spending types. They also provided tips for saving money.
- Spending Personalities:
- Yo-Yo Spenders - Deprive themselves financially some days, then overcompensate on other days while hoping it will all even out in the end.
- Slacker Spenders - Prefer convenience over cost.
- Sale! Spenders - Instinctively reach for their wallets when they hear or see the words "sale," "discount" and "clearance."
- Zombie Spenders - Pay little attention to where their money goes.
- Status Spenders - Prefer brand names over bargain prices, and wouldn't dream of cutting corners with cheap knock-offs.
