Tell me, sisters dear, do you think there are any status symbols out there any more? If so, what? Is it a type of car or clothing or job? I'll explain more after I get your responses. I had a little experience, and I think the person was a little miffed that I did not "see" her as being more entitled than the others around us.

Oh, most definitely. Things like LV/Coach bags, and Dolce &Gabbana/Chanel sunglasses, and Diesel jeans.
People still want the "most expensive" of everything and very much see the objects as symbols of their own greatness. I wade through this every day of my life.
Here's a great revelation about just how shallow and contrived it all is though (not to mention dangerous): www.storyofstuff.com.
I agree with Catherine. I think if people have the most expensive "whatever", they automatically think everyone else should know it...and notice it...and coo over it......and envy it...and kowtow to the person who's wearing/driving it! Of course, I believe the best (and most important) status symbols are living a good, Christian life, being a good and loving person in all relationships, and doing the best things possible with what we're given in life. It's not expensive and it's noticed by the people who matter. Ooooh...was that too philosophical?
