Affluent To Curb Spending and Investing Due to Economic Doubt The MFG survey revealed that affluent Americans are planning to hold back on spending and investing in the stock market due to their uncertainties about the economy.

 AllRefer.com - affluent society (Economics: Terms And Concepts) - Encyclopedia
affluent society, term coined by John Kenneth Galbraith in The Affluent Society (1958) to describe the United States after World War II.
An affluent society, as the term was used ironically by Galbraith, is rich in private resources but poor in public ones because of a misplaced priority on increasing production in the private sector.
Galbraith argued that industrial production was being devoted to satisfying trivial consumer needs, in part to maintain employment, and that the United States should shift resources to improve schools, the infrastructure, recreational resources, and social services, providing a better quality of life instead of an ever greater quantity of consumer goods.

Like their affluent American consumer counterparts, business owners in the survey fear over-speculation in the real estate market, with 63 percent believing there is a real estate bubble (compared with 60 percent of affluent consumers overall).
As a result, business owners, similar to affluent consumers, are focusing on paying down debt (36 percent of business owners versus 27 percent of affluent consumers), and buying stocks (25 percent versus 20 percent) rather than selling stocks (11 percent versus 10 percent) or refinancing their mortgage (9 percent versus 8 percent).
The margin of error among the total affluent audience of 500, including an over sample of owners of larger businesses, is +/- 4.4 percent and is greater among subgroups.

Jostling for an increase in wallet share, financial-services institutions are targeting a broader category of investor - known as the mass affluent - that has from $100,000 to $1 million to invest.
Whereas the high-net-worth, emerging affluent and ultra-wealthy segments are more saturated markets, analysts contend that the mass-affluent market is virtually untapped.

Yet when you come to examine it the original affluent society was none other than the hunter's - in which all the people's material wants were easily satisfied.
To accept that hunters are affluent is therefore to recognise that the present human condition of man slaving to bridge the gap between his unlimited wants and his insufficient means is a tragedy of modern times.
In alleging this is an affluent economy, therefore, I do not deny that certain hunters have moments of difficulty.
