The article, published in 2001, goes on to talk about how people value their possessions so much, it can become their identity.

The level of support is the same no matter, age, sex or race, social support is one of the social determinants of health in the general population (Wilkinson & Marmot 2003). People who don’t have a support system have a poorer quality of health compared to people who have a strong support system.
