Cars: Luxury vs. Affordability
In today’s culture many people place high esteem on possessions. Many people are so set on getting a luxury or sports car than looking for a car with dependability. In America we are extremely blessed and a lot of the time we take those blessing for granted. In the world of fast cars and expensive vehicles, our focus becomes appearance instead of transportation.
I believe that money should be spent wisely and not frivolously put into a car that could be easily destroyed. The money that we have should be conserved and invested into bigger things. Still through everything you should not put all your trust in possession since they will pass away. We cannot place our hope into material things because those things are temporary.
I think our culture puts too much emphasis on the newest technology and not enough on the simple necessities. These extra luxuries are portrayed in such an appealing way to our culture that we are almost brainwashed into thinking that we need certain things when in reality we don’t. Instead of having state-of-the-art stereo systems, Global Positioning Systems, and even backing-up cameras, I believe that it is better to take that excess money and invest it into things that will benefit you for the future. This is especially relevant since college requires a large sum of money. So in my opinion I believe that we need to watch our investments and wisely spend the money which we have.
