For the future, I feel it would be ideal to disconnect the idea that materialistic things and values/status are related because there shouldn't be a need to "flex" one's status. I have witnessed many people of a lower socioeconomic status save their money just to buy a designer product and show off that they can buy expensive things. There are also people who will buy designer products just for the name/logo and not because they actually appreciate the design. These kinds of things are happening because companies and influencers have promoted the use of designer products which is causing unnecessary consumption, especially for the people who need to save up money in order to buy an expensive product.
