Yes, I agree with this because in my environment this is a reality, many young people in my environment are forcing themselves to be stylish, by buying high-value branded goods, which perhaps is a requirement of today where we have branded goods and high value is a sign that we are rich, but we don't know exactly how many young people are like that and what you say is true, even though it's not that important to them, but maybe it's because of prestige that drives them to buy branded and high-value goods. .
Social media and instant life have influenced young people today. The existence of social media and the feeling of wanting to be recognized makes people willing to throw away their money just to fulfill their desires, not their needs. I don't have a problem if someone wants to buy branded goods. Provided that he already has financial freedom. But what most people experience is that they spend their paychecks just to be looked up to by others for having branded goods. This is a very bad lifestyle for the younger generation to have.
That's right, many of them buy things they want but are not really that important, whereas with those who have a poor financial situation of course it's not a good thing, and I don't think it's strange that many young people still prioritize what they want over what they need, because this is a factor of the encouragement of social media that they see making them obsessed with being able to have high-value luxury goods and the goal is like you said to be recognized by many people. It's not a problem if they already have financial freedom, but what makes me want to laugh is that those who are not working or even still sitting in school, this is the problem of many young people in my neighborhood.
I agree with you, if many of them only spend their salary to be stylish by buying branded and high-value goods this is a very bad lifestyle, because in my opinion this can make them difficult later if they continue like this without thinking about their future.
