This is very noble. But many people grew up in (relative) poverty - like me. I was studying hard, working hard, making compromise in order to move up. Now I am doing alright.
Now it is my time to consume: drive a nice car, buy things I always wanted, travel a lot.
I am honest to you, my opinion is not noble as yours: I want to consume, I want my things cheap, because I would not be able to afford otherwise.
There are billions like me on this planet who did not grow up in a nice middle class family in a 1st world. Those people want to move up and consume such as the Western middle class did until recently. The new generation that grew up in a very stable, rich world and had everything suddenly realises that they do not need consumption and hence talks noble things.
But you cannot and must not force it to all those people who did not grow up in fanciness.
