it's like a bragging right. you can afford the latest gadgets and clothes. you can be just like celebrities in hollywood. u can be cool.
another interpretation i just thought of:
it can be the american dream applied to teenagers today. being rich makes them satisfied. obviously, they may not work in gruesome conditions, but it makes them feel successful. that's what sucess is defined as by the media. they see celebrities sporting the latest fashions, they see all these rich people with these houses and gorgeous buildings, they see paris hilton living a great asz life and they want a part of that. if they're rich, they can start to act like those rich celebrities b/c they have the money to back them up.
neways, there are lots of interpretatons

What else should be the goal in a capitalist society?
Proof that the U.S. was not founded on true Christian values!

There is nothing like financial security.
Many have seem their families suffer financially and do not want to end up in the same boat.
I only want two things out of life: My health and financial security. Everything else will fall into place..

I'd rather be smart than be rich. Schools try to educate them, put their parents give in to the "I must own everything" attitude, which destroys their minds.

We did this to them......we have them, farm them out to day care so we can 2 bmw's instead of one....take them to the gap..or whatever the most expensive store is now where we allow them to spend (of our money) more on a shirt than our entire wardrobes were for a year then we have to go to work to be sure we can pay for the day care, their cars, their lattes.....jeese...it is no wonder they are like this....maybe if a parent, either one, would dedicate themselves to maintaining the family, instead of just the family INCOME we would all be better off.....these guys are going to be running this country when I am old....this scares the shi* out of me......

Because that's what is being shoved down their throats via media and tv, etc. If we were feeding their minds a little more, they would know how to spell!
