Abstract
This study examined German savings behavior in the light of the recent European Union financial crises and Chen (2013), whose research linked language structure, cultural frameworks, and economic behavior. A specially-designed survey explored the savings behavior of southern Germans during the summer of 2013, augmented in 2015 with a data mining analysis of German social media platforms on the same topic. The results indicated a complex set of reasons for the savings behaviors of Germans, which also aligned broadly with the outcomes reported by Hofstede and provided a more comprehensive picture than Chen's theory.
