Post Ideas for the Week: 3- OPTION-2
Today, most people spend their whole lives trying to earn as much money as possible to get material things. Man has only Karma, and the only difference between us is our appearance, food, and lifestyle according to the place and climate. Every human being is equal in spirit. But every man is not equal in his thinking. Some need everything, but some of us know how to curtail our needs and live a life as minimalists.
The desires for which we have enough money and are ready to spend are called our needs. But do we really spend it on all our needs? At the present stage of economic development, the problems of the standard of living and the factors determining its dynamics are becoming increasingly important.
I can live without my motorcycle
I am using it for 4 years
For instance, I can live without my motorcycle by using a bike or using public transport. I have already stopped using my car, which is still standing in my hometown. I have a motorcycle that I drive to go to places far and near, but I can stop using it and use either public transport or my bike for trips to nearby places, especially for shopping for groceries, vegetables, milk, etc.
See, if you don’t get distracted when in the market, you are in control of yourself. You see yourself in balance inside you. The magic of the market takes over your mind control and you know exactly why and what you want to buy.
I have bought it only four months ago
You don’t get surprised when you are in the market. Therefore, on this basis, you can say that you are a person of a determined and contented nature. You have control over yourself. Because of your contented nature, you don’t feel the greed of buying on impulse.

You should know about yourself and your capacity so you can control your requirements. There is no person in the world who is not affected by such things. But one who has determination and contentment will never grow on the wrong path and will prove helpful in establishing peace in society.
Many people go shopping to use their money, not for their needs, but to show off their wealth. Sometimes, they go over their budget and spend more than they can afford on things they don’t even need. They just try to show that they can buy them.
Our habits do not allow us to use the market properly. But we should know why we should because the market is to provide us with our needs and not show off. As a result, people that buy only after determining their needs give meaning to their life.
In the market philosophy, we have different types of customers. The first buy to show off their financial prosperity, the second goes to the market with patience and buys wisely. But there is another type too, the third goes and buys goods only for its needs. They are prudent consumers. It does not attract them to everything that they see when in the market. They buy things they must have to survive.
I am one of them. Maybe my present situation forces me to do so, but trust me, I am not the one that believes in showing off.
The standard of living is determined by what you have, including luxurious items. But do we really need them all? On one hand, the development of people’s needs reflects the social differences of certain groups. When quantifying the standard of living, they usually use a set of absolute and relative indicators, but it cannot be determined by any specific indicator.
Society is full of people running after physical goods and services, the level of consumption of goods, provision of housing and utilities, the level of health care, cultural and consumer services, etc. But it all depends on one’s working conditions, job security, and employment.
The scale of the rise in the standard of living depends on the specific conditions of the development of our society. We have both: those who spend freely even if they have to use a credit card or buy in installments, and those who believe in minimalism despite having enough.
So one group defines life by increasing prosperity and the resources for their comfort. They set a certain standard of living as their satisfaction needs as many material goods and services as possible, whether they can or cannot afford them.
But does it make sense? The monetary value of the goods and services actually consumed in an average household over a period and the cost of living corresponds to a certain level of satisfaction of needs. Here, they use the term “quality of life” to describe the standard of living.
Today we are living in times where everyone is running indiscriminately to get ahead, but are we happy? No, we are drifting away from our roots. We are in a blind retrace because of an increasingly stressful environment. We have become so selfish that we don’t mind jumping the wall by keeping our feet on others’ shoulders and harming them for our own desires.
This criterion is of particular importance in a socially oriented market economy, where an individual becomes the central figure. The market economy encourages you to consume as many items as you can afford to buy, even if you have to borrow the products. But as a consumer, it is you who has to decide what to buy and whatnot. How many of you have social security to back you up in case anything goes wrong with your employment position?
How many of you have social security to back you up in case anything goes wrong with your employment? We can broadly divide living conditions into working, living, and leisure conditions. Working conditions include sanitary and hygienic, psychological, aesthetic, and socio-psychological conditions. Living conditions are the provision of housing for all. I agree. These are basic needs, and we can’t do without them.
You should know about yourself, your capacity so you can control your requirements. There is no person in the world not affected by such things. But one who has determination and contentment will never grow on the wrong path and will prove to be helpful in establishing peace in society.
Many people go shopping to use their money, not for their needs, but to show off their wealth. In some cases, they go well over their budget and spend more than they can afford on things they don’t even need. Their purpose of buying is to show that they can buy all that is there to buy.
This habit does not allow us to use the market properly. The market is full of items, but we should know what and why they should buy it. The market is to provide us with our needs. As a result, people who buy goods only after determining their needs and bringing them from the market give their lives and the market meaning.
This criterion is of particular importance, where an individual becomes the central figure. The market economy encourages you to consume as many items as you can afford to buy, even if you have to borrow the products. But as a consumer, it is you who has to decide what to buy and whatnot.
It won’t hurt the feelings of others if you stay as you are. Rejecting an offer for unnecessary things by saying, “No thanks. I don’t need it.“
Mainly because the income and expenditure of citizens are increasing every year, the gap between income and expenditure is narrowing. This is far from having a positive impact on the well-being of our society. But mind you, it all depends where you live, what you earn and how you want to spend it.
As I said I have stopped using my car and next comes my motorbike but for me the most difficult is to stop using internet, at least for time being.
