Why are some folks so compelled to acquire possessions and social advancement?

Sorry that you're poor.

Because the OT has convinced everyone that everything is trashy. Personally I think trying to not be trashy is probably the trashiest thing you can do.

Fixed it for one of my dad's hunting buddies. He's loaded to the tune of a few million and he's one of the most frugal people I know that still drives a 2005 f150 and still uses a Motorola razr flip phone while wearing dated clothes or just a t-shirt and jeans.

Humans like setting and achieving goals. The only people who talk shite about money are the ones who aren't good at making it.

Do you even human nature bro?

I’m my late 20s and early 30s i kinda cared about all that.

Now that I’m almost 40, i could care less about belongings.

I have had the same truck for a while now, haven’t bought myself new clothes in a very long time.

I’m much more interested in living a low key lifestyle than give a crap about needing to keep up a look.

Hive mentality, advertising, low self esteem.
