People nowadays work hard to buy more things. This has made our life generally more comfortable but it is a pity many traditional values have been lost on the way to such materialism. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?

To purchase more and more luxurious

items

,

people

perform a lot of hard work to earn better. Due to

this

approach

people

have diluted the traditional values as they have chosen to live an easy and comfortable life. I firmly believe that

people

carry

this

tendency to live an easy-going life by using materialistic

items

which can be avoided and reduce expenses to a great extent that can be utilised for lucrative investment.

To begin

with,

people

should always think wisely before buying expensive goods, whether it will help them to improve their health in future or not. If one can use a bicycle to visit a nearby place should avoid a motorcycle or a car.

Additionally

, they should use public transport or hitch a ride to avoid expenses.

For example

, I have seen where all the family members have a different schedule and

therefore

they have their own vehicle.

Further

, in

this

contemporary world, individuals are crazy about buying electronic

items

and replace them in few months or in a couple of years as they get obsolete. It is a trend to buy a new smartphone every year when a new model is launched.

For instance

, a recent survey revealed the market of smartphones that have soared in recent years. To conclude, it is clearly evident that

people

spend a lot of money on the aforementioned

items

unnecessarily to show off. Materialistic goods have created distance between human beings, as they wish to leave personal and convenient life. If

this

money is invested or donated to some institutions,

people

can be benefited out of it to a great extent.
