I'm not sure millenials or Gen-Xers are any less materially obsessed, I think we just generally have less money to spend on the things Boomers did. It isn't like we aren't spending thousands on tech, clothing, etc. I hesitate to condemn Boomers too harshly for their lifestyle choices given the benefit of hindsight when I'm sure my generation will also be pilloried for the aspects of lifestyle we are living that will later be seen as moronic.
