INGLÊS
In just the seven months since the stock market began to plummet, the recession has
aimed its death ray not just at the credit market, the Dow and Detroit, but at the very ethos
of conspicuous consumption. Even those with a regular income are reassessing their
spending habits, perhaps for the long term. They are shopping their closets, downscaling
their vacations and holding off on trading in their cars. If the race to have the latest
fashions and gadgets was like an endless, ever-faster video game, then someone has
pushed the reset button.
“I think this economy was a good way to cure my compulsive shopping habit,” Maxine
Frankel, 59, a high school teacher said as she longingly stroked a diaphanous black shawl
at a shop in the nearby Chicago suburb of Glenview.
“It’s kind of funny, but I feel much more satisfied with the things money can’t buy, like
the well-being of my family. I’m just not seeking happiness from material things anymore.”
To many, the adjustment feels less like a temporary, emergency response than a
permanent recalibration, one they view in terms of ethics rather than expediency.
“It’s kind of like we all went overboard,” said Ms. Taylor, 33. “And we’re trying to get
back to where we should have been.”
Not everyone thinks the new restraint will last. Ms. Riley, 37, who lives in Atlanta, said
she doubted it would extend beyond the recession.
Just as she stopped carpooling when gas prices went down, Ms. Riley said, she
predicted that people would start buying again when the economy rebounded. “That’s just
my own, maybe, cynical belief,” she said.
Still, economists point out that the Great Depression created a generation of cautious
savers. The longer the downturn this time, they say, the more likely it is to change financial
habits permanently.
Holly Moreno, 30, a part-time Web site manager in the Dallas suburb of Rowlett, Tex.,
whose husband is a business analyst, said she had been taking their 2-year-old son to
indoor playgrounds at the mall and free story-times at the library instead of paying to get
into the children’s museum, their favorite wintertime haunt.
“Even though we’re secure with our jobs, you’ve still got to plan for just-in-case,” Ms.
Moreno said, “especially because we have a kid.”
As many economists have noted, cutting spending is the worst thing people with
means can do for the economy right now. But that argument seems to have little traction,
especially because even those with steady paychecks and no fear of losing their job have
seen their net worth decline and their retirement savings evaporate.
“I don’t think there’s been any other period in modern history where appeals to people
to spend the economy back into health have worked,” said Ethan S. Harris, a co-chief of
United States economics research at Barclays Capital. “The only time I’ve ever seen
where that kind of urging people to spend worked was after 9/11, and I did think at the time
that there was some patriotic buying going on.”
After the attacks of Sept. 11, though, President George W. Bush urged Americans to
go shopping. President Obama has taken a different tack, issuing a budget whose very
title, “A New Era of Responsibility,” strives for an austere tone. On Inauguration Day, the
first daughters, Sasha and Malia, dressed not in designer labels but clothing from J. Crew.
On television, the insurance giant Allstate is running a sepia-toned “back to basics”
advertising campaign, and in Target’s “new day” commercials, the “new pedicure” is
administered by a spouse and the “new vacation glow” comes from a spray bottle.
“Though the recession was always talked about in economic terms, we felt really
strongly that, in fact, it was a crisis of culture,” said Tracy Johnson, research director for
the Context-Based Research Group, a market research firm in Baltimore that views the
recession as a rite-of-passage that will reorder consumer priorities
Ms. Johnson has advised clients to focus on quality rather than quantity. Malls
redecorated in screaming red “sale” signs are not the way to go, she said, because “if you
just give people the opportunity to buy more, you’re not matching up to where their minds
are.”
Carol Morgan, who teaches law at the University of Georgia and whose husband has
a private law practice, said she felt a responsibility to cut needless spending. “That is
probably something that is a prudent thing to do in any event, but particularly now I see it
as the right thing, as the moral thing to do,” she said, adding that she also hoped to
increase her charitable giving. “Before, extravagance and opulence was the aspiration,
and if we can replace that with a desire to live more simply — replace that with time with
family, or time for spirituality — what a positive outcome to a very negative situation.”
Even some of the very affluent said they were reluctant to be conspicuous in their
spending.
Fear and uncertainty have paralyzed even the most insulated clients, said Jack
Sawyer Jr., who manages money for some of Atlanta’s wealthiest families. “I have clients
who have $20 million, young grandparents, and they’re concerned about whether they can
continue to pay tuition for their grandchildren. It’s not a rational process.”
Any sharp decline in consumer spending will feed on itself, said Juliet B. Schor, an
economist at Boston College and the author of “The Overspent American: Upscaling,
Downshifting and the New Consumer” (Basic Books, 1998). Typically, people spend when
those around them are spending, but in a downturn, the need to compete evaporates.
“You can stay right where you are without falling behind,” Ms. Schor said.
Consumers’ focus may have shifted, she said, from striving to catch up to those
above them to contemplating the fates of those below them.
