Luxury Shame

What is Luxury Shame?


1.

When affluent consumers feel it's necessary to conceal their exorbitant purchases to others, especially in a weak economy.

Bruno felt guilty for purchasing a new Ford GT while many of his co-workers were losing their jobs. Now the GT stays parked in the garage while Bruno drives his Pinto to work. Bruno is experiencing a clear case of "luxury shame". Damn this recession!
