Yes i was wondering to myself what is it that we all want to achieve in life (materially) and the following thoughts came to my mind ...
When we are a child , we want a toy which another child has
When we start going to school , we want a cell phone because many students in class have it
When we start going to high school , we want an iphone bcos that is "chic"
When we start going to college , we need a mustang to flash it around
when we have a girlfriend, we want enough dough to impress our girlfriend and take her to exclusive clubs
When we start working, we want a better salary bcos we are tired of travelling by public transport and want to buy a car
When we get married , we have to earn more bcos we have to provide all that we wanted and more bcos now we have a wife and family
When we have a family , we need more money to get into a exclusive golf club bcos our neighbours do
and since we have joined the club , more money to hire a trainer to help us play golf.
When we have once car in the family, and the children start going to kindergarten and school , we need more money for another car so that wifey can take the kids
When we move up in our workplace we see the high fliers and want a private yacht to just hop on to monte carlo
When we are in monte carlo , how can we not go the famous casino ? so we go spend and loose a lot of money
When we come back from the vacation to the "Real life" we find our bank balance has depleted so need more money
how ? mortgage the house !
The mortgage is pinching our pockets so we need more money to pay it off
i can go on but phew
let me stop here a little and think
, what would be enough for me ideally ?
enough food for twice a day and a roof over my head . isnt it that simple ? but since it is not an ideal world and i am not an ideal person , i go back to square one
