#forms #leisure #activity #countries #adults #reason #developments
These days, in several countries a lifestyle
that is
 getting higher makes consumptive behaviour of young adults change due to the presence of technology which has made it easier for various activities, especially shopping. According to my point of view,
this
 is a negative development, and
this
 essay will explain the points to justify my statement. The enhancement of digital technology makes several big tech companies developed applications so that people can make buying and selling transactions easily and comfortably. In the past, when people wanted to find an item, they had to go around to get that item while now there is no need to do it anymore because without leaving their chair buying goods can be done with a fingertip and money on the bank account.
Also
, the phenomenon of social media cannot be denied, where now almost everyone has an account on various social media. Currently, social media is
also
 used as a place to promote all kinds of products with the help of influencers who can influence young adults to be like their idols thereby increasing the consumptive lifestyle. As mentioned before, shopping
that is
 not supported by reasonable and urgent needs can hurt a person's financial condition, even many people are currently consumptive using credit cards.
This
 reflects that the person's income is not sufficient to fulfil their desires, so they must be in debt.
Furthermore
,
instead
 of spending leisure time for unnecessary shopping, it will be better to do something else
that is
 more positive and does not cause debt. To conclude, young adults who tend to spend leisure time wasting money to pay for things that are not useful is a negative issue.
