If someone studied me it might look like I was becoming more materialistic as I age, but I don't really agree with that. Someone has already posted that as you age the future is less certain and you need to put money aside to handle the side affects of perhaps failing health and mobility. Is that materialistic? I don't really think so.

In fact, as many people age they become less materialistic because they want simpler lives with fewer possessions to maintain. Many aging people move to smaller houses or apartments, and get rid of a lot of the things that need dusting.

There is a third reason aging people may appear materialistic--they are hungry for the experiences they have dreamed of, like seeing the world, and want to do these things while they still can. Travel may be expensive sometimes, but I would disagree that is materialistic.
