Subject: ARE YOU A MATERIAL GIRL???

Looks like you don't possess-to-impress! You probably follow the trends and have nice things, but you don't abide by the "he who dies with the most toys wins" philosophy. You don't focus on living in luxury. Of course you do indulge yourself every once in a while. You probably pick and choose where you're going to spend your money and your energy. You might want the top-of-the-line sound system, or maybe you purchase all the breakthrough miracle skin-care products. There's nothing wrong with that! You've probably got your motivations in the right place. You don't buy brands just to show off the label or drive a convertible to insinuate that you're rolling in cash. It's easy to get caught up in our "check me out" society, but you've avoided that path. Whether you have extravagant tastes or not, your spending style is motivated by your values. So, pat yourself on the back. You're a rare and admirable breed!

YOUR LESS MATERIALISTIC!!!

Material goods don't impress you much! You might indulge every once in a while, but you don't have the urge to keep up with the latest trends. Shelling out cash to show off probably bores you.

I like nice things...but there's more to life than that.

Let's face it. You've adapted well to this material world. There's nothing wrong with that. You just love nice things! Looks like you do a pretty good job of keeping up with the latest trends and incorporating them into your lifestyle. Judging by your answers, you really appreciate living in luxury. But, you pick and choose where in your life you're going to indulge. You might want your wardrobe to be made only by the hottest designers, or maybe you've chosen to put everything into your car. Making the most of your money is nothing to criticize, but it's important to acknowledge the motivations behind your spending style. Do you really enjoy all of your luxuries, or are you partially seeking to impress? If your intentions are the former, and you can afford the lifestyle you've chosen, then enjoy! But if you're buying brands just to show off the label, or driving a convertible because doing so insinuates that you're rolling in cash, then maybe you should rethink your purchasing patterns. It's easy to get caught up in this "check me out" society, so just make sure you keep your head on straight!

Material goods don't impress you much! Shelling out cash to show off is a complete turn-off to you. You have no desire to spend your time and money on accumulating the hottest new clothes and products.

I didn't need this test to tell me that I wasn't materialistic.   ;D  I feel it is more a matter of circumstance rather than choice.  ;)
