New Year, new money-savvy you

January 8, 2011 (RELEASE)

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.
