I completely agree that money is important for things that matter in life, such as family, health, and well-being. However, it's also important to be mindful of how we spend our money and to avoid spending it on things that aren't truly important or that won't have a long-term impact on our lives.
In my opinion, one of the reasons why some people prioritize material possessions like cars and clothes is because they believe that these things are a reflection of their status or success. However, it's important to remember that true success and fulfillment come from pursuing meaningful goals and living a life that aligns with our values and priorities.

As long as the money doesn't cause me stress, that's enough for me. Although the more money you have, the more options you have and the more things you can do. And, yes, I often prefer to spend it on experiences, like with people I care about, rather than on things like cars and clothes, as you mention.
In reality, the car is often the biggest source of financial stress, especially for the middle class, and this is something that many people do not realise. Never buy a car to show off, get one that is reliable and that you can afford.
I never intend to buy a car when alone, but I have no choice now because of my family, car makes things easier if you are no more alone, you will be able to drive your kids down to school and I am living in a newly developed area, very far to the city, there is no comfortable way to live in this area without any means of transportation, I don't regret buying one, if I manage to make some good amount of money someday I will definitely buy a extra ride, one for my self and one for my partner. In reality, the car is often the biggest source of financial stress, especially for the middle class, and this is something that many people do not realise. Never buy a car to show off, get one that is reliable and that you can afford.
Yes, it is right that car is really helpful for families for those where the school or the stores are far from their home. Just always consider your financial stability when going into investing like these. As long as you can afford it, just buy it since money is meant to be used for the things that would be helpful to us and/or would make us feel good. But, the point that middle class often had financial stress when buying thing is a valid point since most of them do not consider their financial capability when going into deals of buying cars. This is not a good move especially when the only reason why you pushed yourself on buying these is to show off. It is much better to be financially sound without having car than be stressed while having a car. The main point is that we should continue to strive to be financially capable and be able to buy the things for ourselves that is within our financial capacity so that stressed would not come our way.
Have you checked your attitude towards money lately? What is "your dream"? bigger home, a bigger car, private schools, branded drink, gold?...
A bigger home or a new car is not important for me in life and wouldn't bring me much happiness. The most important goal for me and my family is a good health. Just recently I lost my step dad due to a serious illness. He worked all his life and had his whole retirement age planned out and covered with private retirement insurance. Before he even reached his retirement age he got diagnosed and died before becoming 68. That's why there is no point in planning too far in the future if we don't have the health to enjoy the time. I would rather go on a nice vacation with my family than to buy something new for myself. The important thing is to spend time with the people you love a hope that they stay healthy as long as possible. All the money in the world doesn't matter if you are just laying in your bed all day.

I don't think buying a car, or a big house is bragging because we all try to make money to make our lives better, as long as it helps us, it can't be called wasteful or bragging. Currently, I am still using a motorbike, but in the near future, I plan to buy a car because I simply think it can benefit my child's health when taking him to school or out...Owning a car costs a lot of money, but as long as it can bring convenience and comfort in life, I think it should be done.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, It's important to prioritize what truly matters in life, such as family, health, and well-being, when it comes to spending money.

Personally a shelter is important, daily food is important, and clothes to cover-up is important. Without this it is hard to live. Beyond this what all we've innovated and making use of it is for our convenience. Money is important, same as that should be our preference. We should have better plans and execute one by one. In my understanding one who have got food, shelter and clothes is rich than majority population of the world.

Common sense, family is the reason why we go through all the shits in life we going through just to make sure we can afford them a better life and anything outside that is secondary.

There's a popular adage among my countrymen tht says "we leave home to take care of home", what this means is that the reason why we leave our homes in search of greener pastures outside is so that we can be to take good care of our family and give them a better life.
Lavishly spending money on luxuries and fantasies while family suffering back home is just another height of insanity and regret is the end there of. Because the best investment in life is lives investment others are just complementary.
if you think about it, actually all the learning that is done at school in general teaches us to make money with different methods so it can be concluded that money is one of the important things even in some situations to learn to make money we are required to spend money
There are some things that are not really necessary to I just want to stay in a comfortable house, not really big and not really small, I want to have like two nice cars one for my wife and one for myself, am having a business am running already, I will want to expand it, I don’t need any branded drinks, to me it’s just waste of money and I don’t need gold, am not the type that values gold.
We all want to be secured with all of these possessions that we're hoping to have and that's the majority of things that everyone wants to have. But agree that it's all about how we're going to spend our money on these important things that will make us convenient and confident with tackling our daily lives. And for those people that are struggling in life, they may see the beauty of it if we're able to help them and show them that we've been there and a lot has changed because we're able to help them and soon that situation will also happen to them. They might be in a bad situation right now but it won't be the same forever and soon, they'll pass on the blessings to the others that they'll encounter and they'll remember all the good things happened to them so, it's just like passing all the good vibes and sharing it with others through helping if it's necessary to the right people.

Our perspective on money shifts as we get older. From the time we were children until college, we believed that money was used to satisfy our desires. We want to be attractive. We want to buy shoes, clothes, and other items that can make us look better. However, once we begin earning money, we also begin to value it and want to spend it only on essential purchases. As we get older, we gain wisdom. Because my child and family come first, I barely have a budget these days. Additionally, I must save for the future.
I agree, but it's very hard to stop being a slave to money. It seems that a person has everything, but maniacally continues to make money, sacrificing health, relationships, and simple human happiness. One forgets that after death, everything physical remains here. Man forgets about spiritual development (at least most people do)
almost all human needs now use money ranging from necessities of life to entertainment such as multimedia, all need money, a simple example to get the latest information on the internet, we even have to pay internet health bills also need money, so why is money important, simply because everything needs money.

sometimes we realize when we have made a mistake in managing money and will return to do it again in the future with the same regret ending, that is very difficult for my life and cannot be denied so I have to use the services of people closest to me to be able to manage it all.
a person's attitude will change when he has a lot of money, many people are like that including myself, that is the wrong thing and will result in a breakdown in money management.
thinking about the future is important but even more important is spending money on important things as you mentioned to meet the needs of families who need our help, money will not be taken with us when we die so use it for useful things.
Money can change the people's mind and personalities that why it's better not to get more indulge with it because it will become more toxic if worshipping too much. Money is just a tool to be happy by spending material things that have value and significance towards to your families and friends. From any walks of life, every penny is important that's why we always spent what's for the best that comes with value in the end.
Happy family is my main goal, as long as it makes them happy and makes sense to do, then I will do everything for their happiness. Henceforth I place items that will be useful in the future, home is the main thing because everything we do will definitely start from there, next is land, I think land will be very useful in the future. Now in my country, development is everywhere and even land prices are rising every year, especially if it's in urban areas we will spend a lot of money just for a piece of land. My dream is to have a piece of land in the countryside, I will use it for agricultural land.
Nice plan buddy, Possessing land for farming is a very excellent and helpful thing for man; it helps in many ways, such as during times of food scarcity and economic activity, and it also makes you feel like a healthy man while earning money. Spending money on your family is a good thing that will make you a hero and man in the family, but you must do so wisely and not on things that are not useful to them.

Increasingly difficult economic conditions make us have to use money only for essential purposes, don't be wasteful or waste money without calculation, and from now on we have to be strict and take into account all expenses, immediately remove unnecessary expenses and bring money only for needs that have already been we budget.
