The so-called “revenge spending” in the country may be fizzling out as the majority of the Filipinos preferred to save more money for the rainy days amid the surging consumer prices, according to a study by credit reporting firm TransUnion.

In its second quarter Consumer Pulse Study, TransUnion noted that 56 percent of respondents had chosen to put more money into their emergency funds, which may signal a halt in revenge spending, or the phenomenon wherein people spend excessively after a period when they had limited opportunities to do so, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.The costs of basic goods and necessities are also seen to burn a deeper hole in the consumers’ pockets. Inflation hit a three-year high of 6.

Some 43 percent of survey respondents saw better household income, but they decided to lessen discretionary spending, like dining out and traveling. Those from the Gen X and baby boomer generations “reported cutting back the most.”
