Is some certain lifestyle a waste of money and time ?

[Dickiy]

Honestly, I think it's all about balance and personal preferences. If your friends enjoy those gatherings and it doesn't put them in financial trouble or affect their family life, then it's not necessarily a waste of time and money. As long as they can pay their bills, save for the future, and maintain a healthy family life, it's just part of their social lifestyle.
Everyone has different ways of enjoying their free time, and if this is what makes them happy, then it's okay. In fact, I would encourage this. Investment in your own happiness is the best thing to do. Just remember that what works for them might not work for you, and that's perfectly fine too.

Agreed. Recently because one of these friends ran into some health problems such as high blood pressure due to over drinking, they have ceased those gatherings for a few days. Well, any problem caused by this unhealthy lifestyle will change their lifestyle eventually and even they choose to continue, it is simply their preference. I know exactly that this kind of lifestyle does not work for me so initially I tried to avoid these over frequent gatherings. I am glad to make a balance between what I like and what I don't.

I think this sounds more logical than what I've read before, even if someone is able to control their finances despite having an unhealthy lifestyle and they can still invest and still be able to pay bills it's not going to be a problem, preference is true but in the short term, when we do too many bad habits continuously where the situation will turn into difficult because the job is no longer productive and health is threatened because of association and unhealthy lifestyle due to drinking or others who will need medical expenses so that the body returns to normal and of course it will cost us a lot of money. And while I see that there are no wealthy people who engage in such activities, balancing such activities to prevent something bad from happening in the future is a wise choice.

we are working to earn money, we are living to earn happiness , in which i mean? work and Enjoy that is what life means .

 there are so many people that trying to earn money and bank their funds and when they grow old so as being ready but the problem is when they turn into right ages to enjoy? in this time is really short and they die without even compeltely enjoying their fruits.


I would rather work now and enjoy  my lifestyle than dying with my money that I never enjoyed.
.
but of course we must not spend too much , and learn to bank some.

that's true and we have to have a calculation for every expense including for lifestyle, indeed lifestyle is important for social life especially since we have spent time making money of course we will give the best for ourselves but if it's all still in the reasonable category then I totally agree, but there are some people who prioritize lifestyle so much that they put other things aside and even spend money on a lifestyle beyond what they get.
so in essence if it is in accordance with the income we get then lifestyle is something that must be taken care of for yourself so that it is better, there are many positive things to get from lifestyle.

I don't like to be slaved by items and I don't follow brans, in today's world people have craze on brand to show off investing on brand. Following trend is also waste of  money. I enjoy my life and would pay for good services and good products not just name or brand. I don't waste money on drinks and smoking, I don't use vehicle for short distance. Instead of vehicle I prefer walking everyday from which I get double benefit. I don't have to pay for gym. people who are struggling with basic needs, would be happier and better if they follow this.

Talking about lifestyle, actually the environment is also very influential on it. For example, we have a luxurious circle of friends, yes, of course we will adjust to that, even though there are some people who are themselves. This happens because of prestige, when we get together with people who always wear branded clothes, for example, more or less we will be affected by that, or in other words we will be carried away by such an environment. At a time like this we have to feel indifferent to it, because if we follow too much prestige, it will be difficult for us to be able to manage our finances.

Try to name one of the many positive things that can be obtained through maintaining our own lifestyle? Because in my view, people who like to maintain their own lifestyle will look more successful in the eyes of other people because at this time there are still many people who judge the success of other people through the lifestyle they have. And for me what you say is also not wrong because it's not bad if it is maintained properly by relying on income from yourself.

if an excessive lifestyle does not only waste the time and money you have if you are only a standard income. maybe if life is too extravagant will experience depression because of running out of money and also bankruptcy that will be experienced by anyone.
I think following a lifestyle is not allowed, but style according to our income. I think this is a form of escaping a wasteful life

Here is what happens to my friends and me and I am sure this is a reflection on different financial values and life attitude in general. Well, I don't drink any alchohol while a few friends of mine love drinking very much. They would gather to have dinner/drink almost every day(at least four times a week). I am often invited but due to my no-drinking habit, I usually turn the invitation down. We are all family men but they are a few years older than me. Their children are much older than my kid so probably they don't need their fathers' attention and time. I always put my family first so this is also one of the reasons I don't join them that frequently. Financially, every gathering meal/drinking is not cheap because it involves a lot of drinks and dishes. The average cost of such dinner/drinking is equivalent to 1/5 the average monthly income in the city where we live. So every month, the cost for these "gatherings" consumes all the income that a man can earn for months. This is considered a huge waste of money in many people's eyes cause most people don't earn much. Although I don't drink, occasionally I will treat them and pay the bills for the guesture of friendliness. Do you think my friends' lifestyle is a waste of money and time ? How much do you spend on such gatherings on average ? Please let me know.

It is their choice, you can give them advice on what to do instead of doing that but the thing after that you have done your part, they need to take care of their actions. honestly it is their money, you need to understand that giving them too much attention will not give you peace at all, just do your part as a friend. Not all people are the same like us or you , investing instead of drinking

You are right. Recently I have not joined them in those gatherings over a month and everything seems to be all right. I still occasionally advise them that drinking too much is bad for their health and also because some of them have got minor problems like high blood pressure, they tend to reduce the gatherings lately. Anyway, everyone is seeking their own way to live comfortably.

those people are still trapped in the matrix of activities such as negative activities and only waste money and time and damage our health once in a while its okay but if 4 times a week it has become a bad habit activities like spending a lot of money it can be 250 $ More than doing negative things, it's better to use the money for activities that are more positive and more useful for our family and friends

[shinratensei_]

certain lifestyle are indeed some total waste of money and what i consider waste of money the most is the lifestyle of following luxury brands, it doesn't matter if you earn millions a month if what you bought are some bags that costs so much fortune, shoes and something like that which you can actually can get for relatively cheap pricing if you don't become die hard fans of these luxury brands your life will always in need of money, and you always seek for attention and validity, i mean there are some people out there that fancies such lifestyle because they are billionaire and that's fine even if you are saving for buying those stuff it's also totally fine but the thing is, money could be well spent somewhere else, like investing. i mean some people even consider that buying luxury bags and watches like that are also some kind of investment and that's fair enough but i doubt if the returns gonna surpass traditional way of investing.

When economic conditions are difficult, they will immediately look back at themselves for wasting time and money on pleasures that they later admit to being useless. Our lives have billions of individual and collective problems, and it's a different story when we have a sense of how to live meaningfully. I can see that a lot of people are wasting their time and money, but when bigotry, delusion and greed cloud their understanding, helping them get it wrong takes time. And they need to experience more things in life to realize those mistakes, even if you or someone well-intentioned advises them, but if they don't agree, they will still ignore them. So let's try to stay positive and change the negative things around so that people can recognize those mistakes.

Definitely but given how they've been at that lifestyle for a really long time, I think it's safe to say that they're not going to regret any of it, it's not really a big deal whether they spend their money or time on things we think is a waste, the thing that matters to them the most is that they've enjoyed it. They definitely will be experiencing financial setbacks but given how they can keep this lifestyle for so long, they can probably bounce back soon.

Life requires both money and time but wasting it will make life more difficult every person has a financial crisis in their life, so it is better to save money instead of wasting it, it will reduce wastage. And we waste without knowing it so the first thing to do after getting the money in hand should be to identify where the unnecessary expenses are. It would not be wise to limit yourself to just depositing money if you want to get something good from the saved money, you should try to invest it there are numerous such opportunities in the market. But you have to invest carefully and carefully this will prevent financial disasters reduce time wastage and make life easier.

Do you think my friends' lifestyle is a waste of money and time ? How much do you spend on such gatherings on average ? Please let me know.

When I was still in university this sounds like a normal evening, even though it was mostly fast food and cheap alcohol that I was focusing on with my mates. In my opinion it all depends on your situation in life. If you are single, have a decent job and make a lot of money, or if you are still young and want to enjoy life, then it's fine to go out often and spend a lot of money. But if you are married and have a family then it's not fine anymore to spend so much time and money for your own pleasure. Priorities change over time and we need put our family first. It's still fine to go out with friends from time to time, but this shouldn't be a regular occasion. It would also make more sense to meet at someones home instead of going out to save on the money. Even if we have the best paying job in the city we still shouldn't be spending so much going out.

Any life you have lived and you can't give it to your children to live that same pattern of lifestyle is as good as nothing but a waste of time, also anything you will do and later regret your actions taken is also a perfect means to waste time, the last one is the worst here, any kind of life you will live and it affects your physical or mental accuracy and well-being is a total waste of time and money, you know some bad things you always do and your inner conscience always fighting you against doing those things, yet because of the pleasure you finds in them you keeping repeating them, all were nothing but a waste of time and resources.

True, actually it will not be a waste of time and money if one can control that lifestyle, manage it properly

We should have the planned investment allocation, savings and for emergency needs. With the rest we need to try to manage our expenses. This will help us go against wasting the money on unnecessary things as well as on time. This looks difficult to be applied on real-time, when time passes automatically we'll get adopted to it realising the goodness of what strategy we've been following. Whenever we've got little money we should try to multiply it through the proper channel with the lowest risk.

for sure youll be spending more and you'll be getting health problems. on a monthly basis it is okay but if you'll spending a lot than your basic needs then that's the problem, for sure his wife or his family is really problematic on his behaviors as he always go home drunk. If he just cut it half or make it once a month for sure he could saved a lot and even mor enjoy the life without alcohol

we are working to earn money, we are living to earn happiness , in which i mean? work and Enjoy that is what life means .

 there are so many people that trying to earn money and bank their funds and when they grow old so as being ready but the problem is when they turn into right ages to enjoy? in this time is really short and they die without even compeltely enjoying their fruits.


I would rather work now and enjoy  my lifestyle than dying with my money that I never enjoyed.
.
but of course we must not spend too much , and learn to bank some.

I like your lifestyle, we try our best, work hard, we should enjoy our achievements. Excessive saving and dying leaving that money for the next generation is a waste. I mean, if I can work for money, I want my kids to be like me. I don't like them relying on inheritance and being lazy. Life is working and earning your own money, that's a life worth living.

that's very appropriate, enjoying life after being tired of working is a form of appreciating yourself who has struggled to get what you have got in life.
I agree that spending a little money on lifestyle is not a waste as long as it is still in a reasonable category after we cover a little savings or investment for the future.

I also live like that, spending the money I earn to make myself happy and keep thinking about the future, building a business for the future, long-term investing, and saving a little for an emergency fund in an unexpected life.
