When it comes to income effect on this particular case, he feels poorer thus, cuts back on current and future consumption. Also, he will increase current saving.
This is because lower real interest rates reduce real income such as interest income.

In particular, Homer prefers to consume exactly twice as much today (c), relative to consumption next period (cf). Homer’s current income equals $100K and his future expected income = $100K.
