After seeing this video I was instantly touched by the sentiment of this, and I think it really shows the actual value of money in this consumerist driven world. I feel that this is an extremely important example of just how much of an effect advertising has on the individual, as the more product driven people took more money from Persin, even though they admitted they didn't need it, but simply justified it by fuelling their superficial 'needs'. The only person featured who didn't take a lot of cash was the only one who actually needed it to aid his survival. I think this video really shows the real way in which money and the race to have the best in life can really have a detrimental effect on individuals.
Overall I feel this video is summed up by its end text:
'you have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need'.
