Abstract: This paper aims to examine consumption behavior disparities between pensioners and non-pensioners, focusing on how pensioners alter their consumption patterns when cohabitating with additional individuals. By analyzing household-level consumption data from the Spanish family income survey, our findings reveal that pensioner-led households with dependents experience a significant 20.5% reduction in total spending compared to those without dependents. Moreover, expenditure on durable and non-durable goods is lower by 21.5% and 16.6% respectively. We find no heterogeneous effects across income levels or with cohort fixed effects.
