Clearly, Alex,you have different priorities than the other kids with whom you have spoken. Computers, TVs and car are all nice representations of living a prosperous life full of things, but they can never replace having friends, outside activities or knowledge. Perhaps you like to read or skateboard or engage in other activities. There’s nothing wrong with that. It most likely means that you have other interests which may well lead you to found the next billion-dollar company when you are 22. Most wealthy, creative people have little time for the ‘luxuries’ we obtain in life, they’re busy creating the next major achievement in their lives. Things will always be things. But, things are just that. Unless you are an extremely shallow person (and I doubt that you are) the things that others value are meaningless to you. If someone else feels comfortable surrounding themselves with things, that’s their choice, it doesn’t mean that you have to be like them. Travel your own path; in the long run you’ll appreciate your own achievements more because you didn’t go along with the crowd.
