The objective of this research is to analyse the effect of anxiety, economic uncertainty and stress on the saving vs spending decisions individuals between the age 18-30 make. This is relevant as its sheds a light on individual decision-making during times of recession and how psychological factors influence these decisions. Using data from 126 participants via an economic experiment, no support could be found for the hypotheses. Nevertheless, the results do suggest that anxiety, economic uncertainty and stress influence the decision-making process when it comes to saving vs spending decisions.en_US
