Saving For Experiences Versus Material Goods
Consideration of future experiential (vs. material) consumption better encourages consumers to save. In a field experiment with financial-service customers, emphasis on experiential purchases generated greater interest in saving. Further, in two scenario-based experiments, participants allocated more money to saving when considering an aspirational experience, compared to a material good.
