Luxury kills

[libert19]

Most younger generation are just after materialistic things, they don’t care using everything they have in buy latest phone or other things that are not really necessary, most of them just want to be noticed, they want to feel among, they want to impress their friends and other people which is not really necessary, after impressing people, you will end up getting broke again, and you will end up regretting.

I think every generation goes through this phase of running after materialism, and often people get themselves into debt while in this phase. I personally think, Fight Club movie saved me from falling for this trap, I understand movies are not the best thing to learn from, but that movie made me really think.

People nowadays tend to be easier tempted by materialistic things. Wherher it’s the brand new phone, or a brand new line of clothes, a new coffee shop or restaurant to try. Everyone wants to buy it immediately but the question is, can they really afford it? Are they living above their means? Do the younger generation have their priorities in reverse by succumbing into luxuries?

A very important question and in short yep I have seen many people spending more than they make, their are living above their means but when we observe the main reason is always same for everyone, they have to pretend to someone that they are living a good life, even if they have to take loan they would buy the new Iphone, or to go on a vacation that they can't afford but to impress someone.

They would do some stupid thing, this is not new though have been happening since a long time and there will always be people exist like this mentality but there are those who don't give a f about anyone's thoughts they can afford it then they do it, they don't want extra burden and weight of thoughts even and I am one of them haha.

I don't really agree with the fact that luxury kills, it all depends on a persons decision and discipline,I feel peoples lack of discipline is what kills them.

Yeah, Luxury doesn't kill. As time progresses, we seem to be losing grasp of the fact that our actions brings about consequences. When we realize the consequences of our actions, we then complain how it's unfair and then go about blaming everyone else for what we've done instead of looking inwards and realizing our actions led to where we are.
Our lack of discipline makes us make stupid decisions blindly which we'll come to regret later. That is what kills and not luxury or its items. Luxury doesn't kill. The crazy desires for it which pushes people to make even crazier decisions is what is really harmful.

Sometimes, those who want luxury and would die longing for it are those who haven’t experienced luxury yet because they lack the funds to afford luxury in life. Luxury kills if you earnestly crave for it even if you know you aren’t capable to afford it, because you are only working with such a low compensation, something that is only good for making ends meet, no extras for luxuries.

However, luxury becomes a reward for yourself once you do something great and commendable. But it isn’t actually a necessity, but just a choice or an option.

I am not saying that those who indulge in luxury are pure-minded. But if I cannot enjoy the money I earn, then there is no point in earning. I think that if I do not spend, there will be no need to earn.

It’s not the luxury that is bad but it’s how people chase it without thinking. When we don’t think about what our actions can cause then we put blame on others instead of ourselves. The real problem comes from making risky choices just to get fancy things or living beyond your means and that’s what we end up regretting. Luxury is not the problem, it’s letting desire control us that causes trouble.

Luxury is an affordable commodity that everybody to acquire within a lifestyle. Most luxurious products are over priced. Luxurious brands often collide with unbranded cheap brands affordable in other locations. Thorough checks for luxury is a necessity for the rich class.

Luxury or a lavish lifestyle can be considered a dangerous poison that can destroy your financial strength. It leads people to live beyond their means, sometimes even going into debt to obtain the things they desire.

Yes, I agree with you. While luxury won't kill you, excessive desire for luxury will. This is especially true when your income doesn't match your expenses. However once you achieve financial freedom, a luxurious life won't be a problem, as we seek financial freedom to enjoy especially since we only live once.

There are people that buy things that they can't really afford and the reason why I'm saying that Is because after they purchase this material thing they end up using more than 70 percent of what they have to get it, this means that they can't really afford it...people value liabilities more than assets...The younger generation are carried away by luxury and they forget about investing so they can have a bright future

Do the younger generation have their priorities in reverse by succumbing into luxuries?

Amidsts all things prioritizing oneself matters, and when you do so you can be able to differentiate between materialistic things and your prioritized needs and be able to make the right decisions.Mostly people tend to adjust to luxury things inorder to impress one another of which they cant give reasonable accounts of how they went about everything.
But for the younger generation i think they are all in to prioritizing luxury over any other things.

Luxury is one thing that most youths are used because of the society that has influenced the way that, they view things one factor that people has to know about the youths is that at that stage of their life's. Most youths don't have a sense of purpose but is easily move by what the see and hear that is why most of them gets expensive materials at the expense of their self development.

Do you know why they barely care? It's mostly because they don't know the struggle behind making money. Do you think they use money they earned themselves for getting the luxuries that they use to show off to the world that they are living a great life and have a high status? No, they compel their elders to spend money for their useless demands, because they don't know how difficult it is for someone to make money, so they can't understand the pain of the person who will have to spend most of their earnings or savings on things that they know are not necessary but they have still have to do it because of the stubbornness of their child or whatever relation they have.

It's a shame that the younger generation is almost emotionless when it comes to a lot of things. They don't value the struggle of their elders, they don't understand what's right and what's wrong even for themselves, but one day in life, when they start their own practical life, when they will have the need to make money themselves, they will have the responsibility of their own family, that's when they understand everything, but what's the point then?

Nope, luxury is unaffordable.

Most luxurious products are over priced.

Because they're luxury and so they are normal to be over priced and expensive.

Luxurious brands often collide with unbranded cheap brands affordable in other locations. Thorough checks for luxury is a necessity for the rich class.

It's business for them and I think a few months ago, makers of designer bags and shoes from China have exposed these luxury brands that they're importing their products there and only becomes expensive once it goes to Italy and their respective countries after embedding the brand tag to the product.

[Ziskinberg]

Luxury kills when you dare to spend for it for the sake of bragging, yet the amount of your income cannot afford for it. So if you stick with that kind of mindset, you are just putting yourself in a bad financial situation that you will definitely suffer and regret in the end. Luxuries are never compulsory, they serve just an option, so you’re free to decide whether to chase for it or just simply stay live simply and lowkey.

Generally, luxuries are those for rich and can afford it, but for those who earn just enough to make ends meet, disregard luxury and focus on what’s necessary.

The thing is that we are in a generation that lack focus, they are moved by materialistic things. they choose less valuable things over valuable. This is the reason why they no longer have the zeal to invest and be patient to reap the fruit of their labour. Instead they spend their income on things of low value and get broke. later they'll still complain of lack of employment and inflation whereas they misused a slight opportunity given to them. I see youth of my locality always buy new clothes, new shoes, new phones etc, when they even have enough of it. And  Just because their friends have it they desire to also have it without considering the situation of such person. The younger generation are leaving a competitive lifestyle, going for liability over asset. And this the reason why we have more poor people than rich. because these people can't pay the Price the rich pay to be at the top.

Do the younger generation have their priorities in reverse by succumbing into luxuries?

The truth is that we have youths of a confused generation.

Isnt that always how it goes?

Every single older generation looks at the younger ones and says the same old thing: They are lazy, soft, and dont appreciate what we went through.  Its not some deep thought; its just different groups not understanding each other.

Thing is, the world keeps changing.  The real world they are entering isnt the same one we knew.  They have to deal with a messed-up, overpriced system that we kinda made.  But Im sure they will get through it, just like we did.

For those already in the wealthy class, luxury is like a mark of identity and a necessity, as they are considered wealthy by many and can afford it without facing hardship. Affordable brands typically imitate expensive brands in their designs to give the impression of luxury and resemble high-end brands. Such items are also sought after by the wealthy when the level of luxury is not too far from the actual level, even though these affordable items are made for the lower-middle class.

There's nothing wrong with luxury as long as you can afford it. Some people live a lifestyle that they can't keep up with. It's crazy how someone would buy a car and after a few months fueling it becomes a problem, this just shows that the person cannot really afford that car. Some just buy certain things to show off or feel among when they are supposed to think of investing what they have, it's all about mindset, they need to change the way they think

This is commonly done by most people today, and without thinking, we get trapped in unfavorable situations, especially when our income is far less than our routine expenses. Everyone wants luxury in life because humans have desires, but sometimes we never adjust, and ultimately get trapped in financial problems. Having no goals and no achievable achievements will make it difficult for someone to change their life for the better, especially regarding financial matters.

Some young people think that spending their youth in luxury is the best way to enjoy their youth. However, smart young people will use this time to build better financial capabilities so that when they have children and a wife, life will be much easier. Mindset will be formed when they are taught and most young people may not be taught how to be responsible for their own lives.

I find the opposite to be true.

Most people I know who are truly rich they dont look they are rich. They dress in simple clothes, they drive some economy cars, they don't go on expensive trips or dine out. The only thing they maybe splurge on is their house.

While others which I know are making minimum wage are driving BMWs, wear Prada, going on trips a few times a year, dining out every weekend, etc. And I have no idea how they can afford that. They are just showing off and many which are close to them know that they arent well off.

Been tempted by materialistic things is better than been addicted to alcohol or gambling, I am good with them if they work hard for the money and decide to spend it on materialistic things, it is their money.

We only live but once, either you have a lot of Bitcoin or you spend all your money on materialistic things all you have isn't truly yours in the end, rather than picking a side I will choose to live as a human being.

It is been human to spend on what we crave for, but applying some common sense is all that we need to do, invest, buy things you need, do what makes you happy, and live like a human should.

Life isn't all about gathering assets and money like a slave.
