   This is scientific Americans Sixty seconds Science. I am Careen Hopcan. This will just take a minute. It's a common complaint.Perhaps level by every generation about the ones that followed. Kids nowadays are too materialistic 1 ,with their  inflated sense of entitlement and now  flashing screen and cellphones. Well,(it) turns out this gripe might finally be true because today's adolescence 2 seems to want more in the way of  worldly goods than teens thirty years ago. And they don't really want to work for it.This is according to a study published in the personality and social psychology 3 bulletin.  to do  the analyses,researchers turn to a survey that was given to 15.000 high-school seniors every year since 1976.Among other questions,the kids were asked to rate the importance of having  lots of money and the stuff money can buy like house, a new car and motor-powered recreational vehicle . Compared to the baby boomers graduated in 70 s, millennial 4 teens plays more stocks in the trapping of success and they also express less interest in what they paid to obtain what they covered. And can you blame them? In an advertising 5 heavy-consuming economy,  why wouldn't you think that the good life involve getting hands in  the goods?
