Sort:  

Because people are flawed. We get pleasure and self-worth from getting stuff. What kills me is how much people spend on useless stuff, or they are spending money in ways that don't make sense. In the US, it is not uncommon to find a person living in an old single wide trailer, with a 30 or 40 thousand dollar car parked outside. It drives me nuts knowing their car is worth more than their house, what's worse they are probably renting the house.

Just my #twocents take it or leave it.
