Not everyone has to have some grand purpose. I work to earn enough money to do what I like, I'm not planning or hoping to make a heap of money. I would be perfectly happy living a comfortable yet completely unnoticed life.
In fact I think a lot of people my age (late 20s) are starting to feel like this as a reaction to the idea that anyone who isn't driving a nice car or going abroad several times a year is a failure. That's the impression I get from talking to people at work anyway.
You still get those status-driven people but frankly I feel very uneasy around them.

Most of the people around me and I always saw that lifestyle as an strong indication of and reaction to no sense of purpose.
