1. Do consumers try to spend their income in ways...? (yes-no question)

2. WHO tries to spend their income in ways that give them as much pleasure as possible? (it has to be TRIES, because who always matches 3rd person sg in questions)

2. WHAT do consumers do with their income?

I think that who should be used with try because the subject here is "consumers " and it �s plural as you can notice. This question means who are the people that try to spend their ...?

Then , there is the use of "their" which makes you use a plural subject not a singular one. I hope that this is helpful.
