Do you consider your TV or air conditioner a luxury item?
Recessions are usually accompanied by people becoming more frugal in their outlook, and thinking about what they can afford to cut back on. A study by Pew Research Center of a wide sample of American households looked at what appliances were taking a hit in the credit crunch. They posed the question "which of these are a luxury you could live without and which are a necessity?" in relation to a list of everyday appliances and objects. The list ranged from cars to air conditioners to microwaves to cell phones.The results, perhaps shocking to some, show how more and more of us are becoming increasingly frugal with our purchasing decisions on 'big ticket' household appliances and electronics. Owning a microwave became a luxury for 21 percent of people compared with 2006. Having a home or portable air conditioner stopped becoming a luxury for 16 percent of people asked compared to a few years ago. The most eyebrow raising statistic from the research was the 12 per cent decrease in people who had previously felt they couldn't live without a TV set.The items that didn't take a hit in the survey were new-age gadgets such as ipods, mobile phones and broadband - these have become the things we can't do without.
To be honest many of the results don't surprise me all that much.You only have to ask around to friends and family to see that frugality is becoming key as we live in fear of rising prices, reduncancies and difficulties in obtaining credit. I guess the year ahead will be about 'making do'. Having a ceiling fan instead of air conditioning during the hot summer we have coming ahead. Sticking with the bedroom furniture or fridge freezer you've been promising to replace for one more year. Not driving your car as much to cut back on fuel costs and mechanic bills. In my opinion these kinds of things aren't going to make a big difference to our overall quality of life. The scary thought lurking around the corner, however, is that this is only the beginning and will really start affecting our quality of life. Maybe at that point people will start to think about all the billions we pay in taxes that gets spent on war, bank buyouts and corporate kickbacks, and start to demand some real change in our society.
