I think I understand why this can happen. It's about consumerism.
That's a quote from the website Investopedia. If you were raised in a capitalist culture this is what you are trained to believe. Sometimes it's true, but everybody knows it's not the truth. And you don't need a Marxist post structuralist analysis either, just listen to the Rolling Stones "Satisfaction".
In my experience things are more fun when you don't take them too seriously. YMMV!
