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.
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.
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.
Do you also find yourself spending more on you payday?, or you approach your expenses differently?
My parents used to always shop for basic necessities monthly when they just got their salary at the beginning of the month, they would definitely set aside half of the money to save as savings so that when an emergency happened, we wouldn't have money difficulties and because my parents get a salary on a regular monthly basis, it is better to spend on a month's needs rather than buying them on a daily basis and currently I actually also apply the same thing, I shop for my family's basic needs weekly because my partner and I earn money regularly weekly, we save the rest for our future needs. spend the money you get for your important daily needs then save the rest, that's the teaching my parents keep telling me.
