The level of expenditure was grouped by categories, where 1 was a low expense, up to 5 which was a very high expense.Those luxury services or items that represented high status were located in categories 4 and 5, these included trips, jewels, electronic devices, art, golf among others, and categories 1 and 2 focused on stores with discounts and basic goods.
The results showed that people with low incomes tend to feel belonging to a low social status and spend more money on goods and services perceived as high status in society.
