Life Style
The more you get, the harder you feel satisfied.
I just finished this book: The New Spend Less Revolution by Rebecca Ash. Also, you’ll see very familiar point of view in The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz.
Every time I turn on TV, most commercials are telling me: BUY ME, OR YOU LIFE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I believe most of you have the same feeling as I do. So, if you don’t buy it, you would even feel so guilty or that you are not living a “standard” life.
According to those commercials, you are supposed to have a fancy car, an expensive house, and anything which express your class.
Does it?
Suppose you just bought a car cost $300,000 (US dollars), and next time, you would feel a bit happier if you buy another car cost more than the first one. Also, according to research, people who won the lottery one year ago are now as happy as those who are handicapped due to serious car accident one year ago. (The new spend less revolution)
The key to being happy is not how much you have but if you are satisfied with what you have now.
A hug of loved one, a cup of tea in a lovely afternoon, the pleasure from reading a great book, staying with the nature, and every single touching moment are what you can never buy with money and will become one of the best memories.
