Materialism in the UK

Have you ever sat and really thought about the things you own and how often you actually use them? Do you have so much stuff that you struggle to find space for it all? You’re not alone! Consumerism has sky rocketed over the years with the rise in social media, and the marketing opportunities that have come with it, increasing our desire to buy more. Social influencers have added to this pressure of buying more, with their constant flow of promotional content, showing off the newest trends in fashion, tech, interiors and more.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
TNT Editorial Team
WRITTEN BY
TNT Editorial Team
The TNT Magazine editorial team is an eclectic mix of travel nerds, city obsessives and people who've spent too long writing about nightclubs. Covering the UK, London, travel and culture with the same outsider perspective the magazine was founded on in 1983. Live life and travel. It's been TNT's mantra for over 40 years, and it's still what we're all about. Getting the most out of where you are, making the most of where you're going, and helping readers navigate the practicalities of working, living, finding adventure and having a blast along the way. Fiercely independent, globally trusted and occasionally a bit opinionated. Politically agnostic, never biased or influenced, just great content without a rose-tinted view or hidden agenda.
