Life is a journey to take. People work in order to live. Because through working, they will be able to achieve their needs and enjoy their wants.
In this modern age, everyone needs to work, land a job or pitch a business to earn income for everyday expenses, more especially to those who have families and to those who act as breadwinners. Typically, a working person sets a budget of his income. Commonly, bigger amount is budgeted for the basic needs like food, shelter and clothes. Then allot some amount for the education, electric and water bill, health, savings and for his wants. Every individual does not have to work always, for it could make him and his life dull and lonely. He could enjoy his life by way of recreation or by securing his wants that would surely brighten him up. Whatever needs or wants a person needs, it is inevitable that it will go around with money. In this case, anyone would wonder on how he could make his hard-earned money worthy to spend.
Spending money is easy to do. But satisfaction is hard to earn for the needs and wants of person are unlimited. When money is spent for the basic needs, there is no question about it, for those needs are the fundamental keys of living. How about the wants? Each person has different wants, a want for accessories, clothes, jewelries and more. Anyway, it depends on the person. He is liable of his actuations and decisions.
Securing one’s wants is fine, for wants are good, not unless it will come to the point of obsession. Too much of good things can also be bad. Right now, fashion is boosting and jewelrywearing is a form of fashion. Purchasing jewelryis not a big deal. If genuine jewelries are not affordable, several substitutes are possible like imitations that are cheaper, but absolutely, genuine really has the greater value. Worthiness of money spent could be measured alone by the user. He could weigh up the satisfaction he gained, whether he has achieved it fully or not. Therefore, no one can’t blame others who purchase such jewelries, which look like not worthy, for on the part of the buyers, satisfaction and contentment might have been attained by them. Jewelries are not only considered wants, sometimes it comes as a need, as it is driven by different factors such as an occasion or event.
Money, either in bill, coin or check, hard-earned or not, must be spent wisely, decide what to prioritize first between needs and wants. What to remember is that, one could live through lifetime without grasping his wants, but could hardly live for even a day in the absence of his needs.
