 much needed and necessary items.
On the other hand
, the rich have more money and more purchasing power, and they are able to buy rather extra products maybe those that are not necessary, but advertisements pretend them as pivotal ones.
Moreover

such
 merchandise depends on one’s personality and scrupulosity in that the more a person is easy-going and naive, the more will be the effect of media on him, while seldom are strict and precise people deceived by advertisements. In conclusion,
