We live in a material world. From getting the latest smartphones to getting your hands on a Tesla. The cookie-cutter “path to success” in your typical Asian life paradigm is to get a house. Inherently, wanting something here and there isn’t such a bad thing, but what if your life decisions are all driven by this idea that to prove that you are gettin’ it you need to have the checklist of stuff that defines whatever “success” means.

 

Having “valuable” stuff is often conflated with social status. What drives this idea that if you have the best things that you’re in some sort of position that’s better than everybody else? Janet and Brian have their theories on this as well as discussions about what could be driving this constant need to horde material goods. What is it about the environment that our parents and grandparents grew up in that results in what seems like an obsession to not only achieve, but to show it off to everybody?
