Spending money culture in the US versus the rest of the world

I would like to warn you in advance that I do not want to offend any culture or country with this post. It only demonstrates observations from my own experience.


6 months ago, I had a conversation with a friend and we got to the topic of money.


That conversation concluded that Americans ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ were born with a wallet in their hand and have no problem paying for products (any, even less useful ones) while other countries are very hesitant.


When I worked in customer support, I noticed that the least willingness to pay or the most complaints on pricing came from people from India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ and some European countries. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ (*The pricing tiers were customised to regions.)


People from Africa ๐ŸŒ, India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ and Turkey ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท asked for a free product or a discounted price the most.


And people from China ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ or Japan ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต had no problem paying.


  • ๐ŸŒ What "spending money" culture have you observed from your own experience? Can you also share the product you offer? Because the pricing matters as well as the industry.

  • ๐Ÿค” Why is it so like that? [your guess]

  • ๐Ÿ‘› Do you think that Americans are the most open when it comes to buying products? Or do you consider any other nation to be more prone to spend money?
