Recently scientists have conducted a study that stated, people who are extraverted and on low incomes buy more luxury goods than their introverted peers. They do it to compensate for the experience of low financial status. As per the psychologists, people living on a low income often feel low and neglected in a society. To compensate, they spend a higher percentage of their money on goods and services that are supposed to have a high status.
The scientists used a real life spending data from UK bank accounts to investigate the spending habits of rich and poor people with different kinds of personality traits.
