What do you really know about your own spending habits? Our question isn't about whether or not we should consume, but rather how we should consume. That is, how does our spending influence lasting positive effects, both in our own lives and in those around us?

This site is an academic venture with no fees or advertising. As a collaboration among social psychologists who study consumer behavior and well-being, your responses will be used for research purposes only. We will guard your privacy carefully.
