You can't meet all your needs/desires at once, even if you spend all your salary

[BigBos]

As eloborated in the opening post, it is true that the needs of people won't come to an end. It is our responsibility to plan wise and allocate good money for savings. Miscellaneous spending happens and those are unavoidable, at times people spend money because they don't know what to do. Such situations needs to be avoided. To understand this situation, one need to spend on analysing whether it is must needed one.

Personally I used to have long term plans and if the earning turns good then I'll spend on it. This helps in achieving the materialistic needs fulfilled earlier. This is possible only through proper planning where we need to be clear on the allocation for our needs and for investment.

Yes, I agree with that, even if your salary is very likely your basic needs can only be covered a little, but this is different from the lifestyle where most people prioritize their lifestyle over their basic needs, many people prioritize their lifestyle to follow current trends with goods. , fashion, luxury gadgets that people buy to look cool in the eyes of other people, so people will think that people who own branded goods are cool people, nowadays people are competing with a luxurious lifestyle no matter how If they can afford an expensive lifestyle, they will fulfill it without thinking about other things that they certainly need for themselves.

Maybe basic needs are not prioritized because they prioritize lifestyle with the thought "oh this can be done later, but branded goods are limited". Also, some people can set aside or prioritize saving when it's time for their salary, they prioritize saving for the future, they can appear without prioritizing a luxurious lifestyle because they know there will be a time when they will have their own family to prepare for.

Human needs can not be fulfilled and they are not limited. The more he gets the more he wants and this nature isn't always bad. Your desire to touch the sky takes you to a level that you have never dreamed of. It gives us motivation, inspiration and courage to improve ourselves to touch the sky that doesn't have any cilings. What destroys a human mind is its greed not its ambitious nature.

That's very true. Ask CEO of a Bank who has salary in millions of USD and he will say he is finding it difficult to live in this salary. Same statement will be given by an average Bank employee. The more you get the more you spend and I think there is nothing wrong in spending money on yourself as long as you are spending within limits.

The main reason why salary person lives financially stressed life is because salary is always proportional to inflation rate. Therefore no more how much increase you get over the period of time your financial conditions remain almost the same.

usually the well established rich person are always already planning for future financial.
its those descendants of the rich that usually waste a lot of money if not getting proper education, thats why financial education better suited for those that already rich.
after all managing money also requires as much effort as to gain it though it can still be argued, at the end of the day, its essential to know how to keep money from vanishing.
therefore if someone really eager to become rich at least having some dollars in their banks, should know to differentiate between real needs and desire.

Yes, they are taught to manage their finances well, especially when they are well established, it is clear that their parents will supervise them.
For those with descendants of people like us, education can be more important, especially majoring in business and financial education because this is important for them so that they not only come from rich people but they can also make good use of what they have.
It's actually not easy to manage this money, it requires discipline with correct management procedures, but partly because of what you inherited from your parents, for example, sometimes those who can maintain some also can't survive and spend more money that is not important.
It depends on the child's habits, sometimes a lack of education makes them a little lost in managing money.

For sure as a CEO having huge amount of salary would be equivalent to number of workloads and stress he is dealing. It's literally the nature of human to find something or having a goal to achieve to keep continue on living, cause it would be hard to doesn't have a purpose on life, so enjoying and spending your money on things you like is actually good as well. Just know when you can budget your money into your needs and to your desires cause for sure if you focus on one, you will have to sacrifice one of the both.

Well, having a big income would also count on having a big taxes as well, plus you said the inflation rate affecting his salary so anyone would also feel the same to desire something like being financially free. But I think if you're already a millionaire and can't settle for retirement, I guess it's more on greed already.

I also think like that because from some of the humans I see around me right now it is absolutely certain that what destroyed them was their own greed. Not another characteristic so it can be concluded that greed is the key to destroying all the dreams desired by every living human being, because when a person cannot control his emotions and the income he has earned, that is when he will continue to make mistakes so that whatever he gets is not there will be enough for him.

[Ever-young]

You are indeed right, our needs and desire are always not enough and we can’t settle them all, even the richest person I believe they don’t settle all their needs all at once that’s why we just need to settle the ones. The more life goes the more you will run into new needs and new desire, those ones which we really need are the ones we need to settle first and wait for what comes next in the future.

If we try to solve and get all our needs settle all at ones we will never be able to save anything for our self from our salary and at the end of the day we might be getting into debt which we can’t point out what we did with the debt we took why we take salary every month. It’s good you have been able to point this out in details.

The problem is that we can't get everything that we intend to get since we might not have all it takes to get those things.
Everybody is facing there own challenges and there is not way we can focus our mindset on something else easily without looking for way to make sure that we find solution to what is our biggest priority. There are people that have the money and there priority is not to hustle like someone that is looking for job again so everyone has what's bothering them and they are all different. Since we can't meet a our needs we need to work on the ones we can achieve.

[uswa56]

Human desires are of course very diverse and we will not be satisfied if we only spend our salary. If we had an income of $1 billion per year, we might spend it and we would not be able to fulfill all our desires, so the $1 billion is gone and many of our desires have not been achieved.

That is a huge amount of income and I think only an ungrateful human being would say that amount is still small. Because if someone with an income of that size still says that it is not enough to make their wishes come true, this shows that that person is someone who is very greedy with money so he is never grateful for what he has got.

Because other people won't even be able to earn that much money in a year or more, so only greedy people will say that that much money is not enough even though you say that every human being's desires are very diverse. But I think with that amount of money it wouldn't be possible to say it wasn't enough unless someone continued to want to make a spaceship which would cost a lot. So gratitude is the final key for every human being who has achieved anything through his efforts and patience so far.

It's true that everyone's desires will be different, but they also have to be realistic and if someone still says they don't have enough to fulfill their desires if their income is $1 billion per year then that person is really very greedy, in fact I never thought before that there were people like that in this world.
In fact, someone's desire arises or this desire arises, of course, with the financial conditions we have, that is what is called a desire because it is realistic to achieve even though it is difficult, while desires that are quite high are categorized as dreams, things that are impossible to achieve under current conditions That,

In essence, everyone will continue to look for ways to solve the problems they are facing so that everyone can continue to fulfill their own needs without any interference. We can see from everyone who works that each person definitely has their own priorities in achieving what they want because without trying to achieve something they want, everyone will not get any development or anything in their life. This is based on everything that will not come by itself without effort through hard work.

I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with the term "one day millionaire", but for those who don't know what that means it basically refers to an individual or people who spends whatever money they have or earn for a single day or a short period of time. They are basically those who just spends and spends until nothing more is left, and are slave to their desires. These type of people are the ones who often regrets their decisions and actions after some time, once they finally realized just what they wasted.

Shocking part is these people can either be rich individuals or those who are just average earners.

I know that such people don't care about their future and that becomes a problem when they move into the future and if they, unfortunately, don't have any job and also no money since they've already spent it all, but there is one thing about them, they enjoy the present very well, they do everything they want to do without any hesitation or thinking twice like us that if we spend this money now, what are we going to do later if we need some money, etc.

I have a cousin who is a "one-day millionaire" as you call it, and he is just like that. He works, earns some money, and spends it all on things that he wanted to do, he buys himself a new smartphone, will drink beers, go out, and do all the shit that makes him have a good time and save nothing at all. I've always wondered what he would do once he gets married because you can barely live a life like that once you have a family unless you earn a hell of a lot of money.

What I have observed is that as your salary increases so will your desires wants and needs increase. However if you maintain restraint on your desires and contentment with what you have you will discover that all that you need your salary can meet it. My own theory is that if my salary cannot afford what I want to buy then I do not need it.

For example I do not need a new car if my old car is not broken or giving me any problems that requires daily maintenance. The reason you see people go buy new cars when their are old cars still functions perfectly is because they want to meet up with the trend.
Also if that car is faulty and requires constant maintenance and you cannot meet up, if the drive to your office is not a far distance , you can sell your car and get a bicycle. But will you? You see that here it not your salary that's the problem but your desires that is the problem.

[Rivaldine]

This is a practical case of "problem never ends". You think the need before you is pressing enough only for you to wake up the next day with a much more higher need that surpasses the previous, to some extent, it looks like the need you attended to the previous day met the incoming need on the way and informed it that you are more than fit to combat whatever is presented at you. What I do is to try the best economical approach towards solving the problem and not spending too much as more is coming tomorrow. Everyday births a new challenge.

It's all about having the right mindset. What I believe is that if my monthly expenses are $30,000$ then i need to have an income sources that can cover these essential expenses. If my income sources can make 35000$ for me then the remaining 5000$ is the balance i have to spend on something of my hobby or desire. If it cost more than 5000$ to fulfill my hobby then i should be patience or think of something else.

[Etranger]

. If it cost more than 5000$ to fulfill my hobby then i should be patience or think of something else.

I believe when it costs more, you should think not of something else, but of ways and opportunities how to reach what you desire. Thinking about the ways of getting something you want is much more productive than giving up on it and satisfying with something else or less. Of course, this approach requires time and patience, but it is definitely worth it, because in the end you will end up with something you truly wanted, not something you just could afford.

Its obvious these days human chase after clothes, cars, party's and so many other luxurious lifestyle  and even do jobs we don't like to do just to meet up the high standard and buy things we don't need because we see a lot of post from influencers/advertiser. Spending habit is something that should be priorities in this life. When I see a lot of  persons working day and night in other to impress, I feel so bad for them. Set aside the good lifestyle every human is suppose to invest and as well save because that is what will save them in the future. Those things are perishable and are only for the moment.

A lot of people are very ignorant when it comes to investing. They will always procrastinate till time flies they wont still invest any. I know a friend who has been saving money weekly to buy the latest iPhone 15. When i told him the amount i invested in Bitcoin in the current price now and the price i speculated it to be in the future he was wowed. Still yet he is not interested all in his mind is to get the iPhone 15. There is no room for excuses as long as gradually invest in Bitcoin even with the low income it will accumulate over time.

[Franctoshi]

I bet if it will be impossible to see a salary earner that would even have his/her salary equal or meet his needs/desires as human needs can never be satisfied. When one problem is solved, another one arises. So If at all, you have a salary that meets your needs,  your desires will automatically increase thereby making such a salary no longer enough to service your needs/desires.

it is not possible for humans to be fulfilled they will keep seeking and finding till when they will die look at the aspect of phones and buildings they are always modernizing and people are always looking for the latest mostly because of nothing than recognition and status, and the only thing I feel even gives us a little satisfaction is food when you eat and you filled and you have to wait till when you start filling hungry again so aside that we humans will always hunger for more. since it is our nature we have to live with it and as we hunger for more we should also improve ourselves.

[nurilham]

First I would say "human needs are insatiable." Upon attending to some current needs, definitely others will arise. So, even if you spend all your earnings trying to solve every of your needs, that doesn't mean that other needs might not arise.
Often times it's good to remind ourselves that we are still in the real world and have to come out of the world of fantasy.

It is true. There will be always new needs, people want more when they can fulfill their current needs. So, human needs will be never fulfilled because it is like unlimited things. All people must never feel satisfied, they will feel greedy to get something new. If we can't control our will, we will always think that we never reach a good condition on our financial status in this life. Our earning will be always less than our spending. But as human, we must have the thought to be wise. We must prioritize the basic needs, don't always think about new needs.

It is human nature that we always want more than what we have now and are never satisfied with what we have now as a form of our ambition to achieve the targets we want to achieve.
Many opinions say that this can be overcome if we can be more grateful with what we have but this is just a defense because in the end as long as we live we will still have a great desire to continue to fulfill the needs of life that we want.
This is also what makes us a greedy person although many do not admit this but the fact is that we are the greediest creatures and it is a fact only that all have their own level of greed and it becomes a condition where it is called "gratitude" but in the end when there is an opportunity that we can maximize to benefit all will still return to greed as its basic nature.
