解答
意味:Spaving は、あまりにも新しい造語なので紹介している日本語のページが見つかりません。したがって、下記英語のページの説明を使用します。
Spavingは、spendとsaveの混成語です。その意味は、「より多くのお金を使うことによって節約する」になります。しかし、場合によっては節約しているのではなく無駄遣いをしている可能性があります。
Answer
According to The Week:The term — literally a mashup of the words spending and saving — is defined as the act of "spending more to save more," said CNBC, and it's a sneaky yet "common pitfall" that many people unwittingly fall for.
Examples

- Steering clear of the trap of spaving largely comes down to interrupting the impulse.
