3. Have people’s goals changed in recent times?
Certainly.
A few decades ago, it seems to me that people were only interested in becoming wealthy. In most cases, this was probably because they grew up in poverty and strived to create a better life for themselves and their family. Take for instance my parent’s generation, they all desired to own a house, to own a car…to be secure.
In recent times, however, as well as a desire for material wealth, it appears that there has been a shift towards lifestyle. I mean, millennials are more interested in experiences such as traveling rather than acquiring possessions. In fact, studies have shown that the majority of young people today have no desire to purchase property or own a car.
