I was thinking how many birthday celebration, family event, wedding, child dedication I wasn't able to attend cause I was making a living. Earning was my main priority. I came from a working middle class that worries every bills that is due.
As a human being, we always want more. We have an idea that if we could earn a little bit more it could satisfy our needs. We follow people in instagram, facebook and twitter imagining what we can do if we earn a little bit more. We wishes to experience how is like to have those stuff, wearing those Gucci, driving the latest car. The idea of consumerism.
is a social and economic order and ideology that encourages the acquisition of goods and services in ever-increasing amounts

Is it really satisfying having those?
I don't know. I'm not in the position to answer the question maybe I can answer that if my net worth is more than a million. For those who are reading this who falls under the category of a "millionaire", does your money satisfy you? Or are you still like us who wishes for more? Does your income satisfy your need?
Our income is directly proportional with our expenses. Can I conclude that my income will not satisfy my need? Or was it just my want?
Wealth gives people false sense of security. The idea behind it is more wealthy you are the more secure the future will be. It gives you the false hope that the future will be easier to leave in. It gives you an idea you can be whatever you wish or powerful as you wanted.
