I noticed majority of the people in my area tend to spend more money then usual when they get their salary, like buying things they don't really need.
You can't really said they buy things they don't need. Because whatever thing they bought with their money is sure valuable to them. Choices are different. Like me when I was working whenever I get paid I buy all necessary item needed by the family in other not to walk around the grocery shop. It's just like a compilation of required items buying in balk. So that isn't caled unnecessary.
I said majority of people because my dad owns a grocery store, I have noticed that most of the customers tend to buy more stuff on the 1st and 10th day of the month because on these days they get paid in my country.
You sound like someone who is from an African country. Maybe someone from Nigeria. Because due to economic inflation people always like to buy things in bulk because of price changes. if you don't buy those things as fast as possible you might need to spend more anytime soon. They buy such thing to cut lost because if they use like $200 to buy those stuffs, and price hyk comes up dey will not need to spend much next month or upper, and I will save them unnecessary expenses. Or can be call price hyke elimination strategy
I already seeing this pattern on news or business related youtube videos, but I didn't think it was a big deal.
Now I realized that its very important to consider this behavior of people when making business decisions because it can have a big impact on the sales or finances.
I am surprised by it because in my family we usually buy only things we really need, I am starting to understand how other people's spending habits can affect the business.
I think it's their money and they have right to spend it the way they want. Who knows they have alot compeard to what you have. "All fingers are not eqaul" they said. So those people might have a higher paying job that don't affect them financially.
Do you also find yourself spending more on you payday?, or you approach your expenses differently?
Each an everyone has his lifestyle to leave.
