Materialistic

Too many people are materialistic now. Being materialistic means that you are more concerned with material things other than your own values. People now think that they have to fit in to what everyone else is doing and think that they have to have everything that everyone else has. The media consumes us now through the TV, magazines, and advertisements in hope to make us want things that we do not need.

This issue used to not be a problem. Everyone used to work for everything and just got what they actually needed in life, but now that has changed. People spend money on worthless possessions just to look better, show off, and for no reason but just to have them sometimes. Too many now have changed their values.

People focus more on their wants more than their needs. This gets many people into financial holes that they can not get themselves out of. More people need to think twice about what they think about buying or wanting and remember that their needs need to come before their wants. Materialistic people often start judging others based on what they have. This causes many to be like them. Most of our society has turned into being materialistic lately.
