This essay sheds light on what are status symbol items, demystifies the different types of status symbol items that people can have, elucidates how to obtain status symbol items, delineates the benefits of having status symbol items, and identifies the challenges of obtaining status symbol items. Unbeknownst to most people, there are a copious amount of different types of status symbol items. The possession of status symbol items can denote that a person has wealth. People accumulate status symbols items for a myriad of disparate reasons. People are fervently eager to procure status symbol items primarily to brand themselves as being wealthy. Status symbols items are often highly sought after items that serve as symbols of wealth. People do not want to brand themselves as being poor and are ardently eager to flaunt their wealth in order to associate themselves with affluence. Possessing certain status symbols items can also cause other people to presume that you are also a person of high social status. If you have a high social status, then people will be all the more amenable to furnishing you with preferential treatment. People are often eminently eager to ingratiate themselves with people of high social status so that they can potentially avail themselves of favors from them in the pending future. People of high social status are at liberty to provide other people with referrals to the gatekeepers of opportunities if they choose to do so. The gatekeepers of opportunities are able to arbitrarily decide whether or not people are afforded opportunities and typically reserve opportunities for their friends and family members to avail themselves of. Having a referral from a person of perceived eminence can potentially allow your candidacy for an opportunity from the gatekeepers of opportunities to potentially be given more consideration than other qualified candidates who lack referrals and who are also not the friends nor relatives of the gatekeepers of opportunities. Even though the gatekeepers of opportunity reserve often opportunities for friends and relatives, they cannot always afford to perpetually defer furnishing an opportunity to a candidate. When the gatekeepers of opportunity need to furnish an opportunity to a candidate in a short time window and do not have friends nor relatives who are interested in avail themselves of the opportunity, they will then become all the more inclined to furnish an opportunity to candidate who has referrals from people of perceived eminence who they know and have a strong interpersonal relationship with than to furnish an opportunity to candidates who lack referrals from people of perceived eminence. Possessing certain status symbols items can also cause people to presume that you are a member of exclusive social circles. People who are ardently eager to be induced into exclusive social circles are inclined to attempt to cultivate strong interpersonal relationship with the members of the exclusive social circles in order to increase the likelihood that they will be inducted into the exclusive social circles. Members of exclusive social circles can recommend other people to be inducted into their exclusive social circles if they so choose to do so. Possessing certain status symbols items can render you more approachable to other people. Possessing certain status symbols items overtly conveys to other people that you want to be associated with wealth, prominence, affluence, success, and prosperity. It can be deduced that a person's eagerness to flaunt certain status symbols items is not just done so for personal branding reasons, but is also done to render himself more apt to garner more attention from other people. When people presume that a person is associated with wealth, prominence, affluence, success, and prosperity due to the person donning certain status symbols items, then the person becomes all the more approachable and all the more apt to garner attention from other people. People are all the more compelled to approach and confabulate with people who flaunt status symbol items since they want to also be associated with wealth, prominence, affluence, success, and prosperity and also believe that befriending people who have branded themselves as being associated with wealth, prominence, affluence, success, and prosperity can help them to make inroads towards becoming profoundly successful. People who are associated with wealth, prominence, affluence, success, and prosperity are at liberty to bequeath knowledge to other people appertaining to how to become successful if they choose to do so. The obtainment of status symbol items is not always ascribed to the exertion of strategic hard work on a person's end since the status symbol items may have been gifted to the giftee of the status symbol items by another person. Some people who obtain status symbol items are able to do so with extreme ease.
