Topic: World is full of things what nobody dont need just too much (Read 719 times)

Well, its definitely better to live in abundance of everything than live in lack and want, would it have been better when you need something, and you can't have it at that time you need it simply because it's short of supply, and you have to wait in line with probably millions or other persons for the next set of that thing or product to be produced or manufactured? I guess you will not Want that.

And again, imagine that right now that we seem to have alot of things or stuffs in abundance, yet, they are all expensive to afford, now, imagine when those things becomes short of supply, do you think very many of us will be able to afford to buy any of those stuffs? I guess you no the answer.

So, for me, I say it again that, it's better we live in abundance, over supply of what ever we want or need, than live in shortage of supply.

that's right, everyone has the right to choose what they want or what they want. most people today that I know, especially young people, many of them force themselves to buy branded goods that have a high price value, and most of them are still in school and who do not have a job, this encourages them to be able to have high value goods because along with the development of technology also leads all young people to live in luxury such as from vehicles and especially in gadgets, many young people force themselves to be able to have luxury goods such as vehicles and gadgets. unfortunately many of them ask their parents to be able to fulfill their desires while their parents are only ordinary workers with enough income to meet their needs.

Unfortunately, many of them ask their parents, and this is certainly not good, because there are children who ask their parents to be able to fulfill their desires while their parents are only ordinary workers with enough income for their needs, and what makes me odd is that they ask for it by force, even though they should be aware of their family's financial situation. So in my opinion, don't push what you want, it's better to prioritize what you need.

There is no end to human needs.  Well the world is full of everything but this fullness is much less than human needs.  Human needs are only increasing day by day.  Maybe now the brands that are in a very good stage will decrease in demand, then maybe people's attraction towards a new brand will increase. And this will continue forever.  If the world was complete then the invention of new things would have ended long ago.  This post doesn't make much sense to me.

Of course you say sensible things, but it's human nature to keep a stockpile just in case. And since there are a lot of such cases, there are a lot of stocks. To store such stocks, they build closets where things lie for years and decades - and no one touches them. That's true of most

Whoever has used things in the house or things considered outdated for them should let them out to those families that they are better than, take them to the orphanage, NGOs to distribute to the needy and not to keep clustering them in their homes, wasting them while there are people needing them, that is not wise because the economy is hard and some families can't really meet up to their daily needs and they need support from others.

This is the end of the year and it is wise to give out in appreciation of what God has been doing in health and prosperity. So is really a time to give and not to waste what we don't need.

Well, let them buy it for themselves! They don’t force anyone to buy them, they don’t include their price in goods for the not-so-rich, and they don’t prohibit the production of goods for people with other incomes? What's the problem then?
Well, people want to waste money thoughtlessly on things that are not really worth their price - please, it’s their money, and they can do whatever they want with it - light a fireplace or buy “unique” things! As they say - everyone goes crazy in their own way

Regarding unreasonable consumption, I will tell you a more unpleasant information - the middle class buys food products that are then thrown away, in amounts that are thousands of times higher than the cost of goods from the area of “exclusive luxury”... despite the fact that there is a real problem with food in the world .

Exactly, and that desire of every person with money to show others that they are superior is the reason why these trends and styles and everything change very often because every other person who is wealthy demands to best thing, and they want everything to be new and only just for them, they make such demands and companies and brands go ahead and create new designs, old ones become old-fashioned and outdated and this is how things keep piling up while new things keep coming in the markets.

So, it's not just about needs every time, needs are for people who don't have anything, but for people that have everything, more than they need, they only have desires and wants and no needs. They want new trends and new things, no matter how expensive, they should just be unique and only for them.

We dont hope for any emergencies but these are actually inevitable things, you might be experiencing that lavish life for not but you dont know on when crisis do hits up hard on which it would really be that making you
put up on a situation on which it would really be that so hard to cope up with just because you had missed out on making up some savings earlier because you arent thinking on having that one when you are still
on a condition on which you do really have the money. This is the most common behavior on someone who do have still the money and really that confident that they could still generate until the end of time without
even trying to assume out those possible things that could happen along the way. They would really be just mindful on doing things on the time that they are already experiencing struggles.

There's no such thing about being permanent into this world and this is why it would really be always recommended that you should really be that mindful on the actions that you are making.
Making up some back up plans and those advanced thinking on making yourself that get prepared whenever problem or issues do hits up. There's no assurance that
we wont really be able to encounter that, this is why we should really be that wise.

That's good, just like me who buys what is needed instead of what is wanted, because what is needed has a more important role than what is wanted. And some people also that I know, there are those who buy things that are wanted not needed. Like easy children now, where they work to fulfill their lifestyle, especially in vehicles and gadgets. Where young people are more concerned with these two things because this is a requirement for them to go hang out or gather with their friends. Because the circle of friends is also currently becoming luxurious following the development of technology. It is not wrong to buy what you want while you have your own income, but overdoing it is not good for you.

I think they do this because of the prestige that exists in themselves, where they buy branded and high-value goods because of the demands of the living environment and technological developments as well as the prestige that may exist in themselves.

I agree that the world has a lot of things manufactured by thousands of branded and unbranded products we don't really need but that was just a part of the supply and demand. We consumers has the right to choose in every product we wanted to buy even if we don't need them. Greed was one of many factors that affects this kind of event. But this don't work on me personally because I only buy what I need rather than I wanted.

From the op topic" the world is full of things what nobody needs" the first thing that came to my mind is any one really forcing you to buy those things. The problem comes from consumers and not the producers they're earning money with the sells of goods, clothes etc so we can't stop them, if everyone can learn to buy what they need and not want, I think there's no problem.
The rate at which people complain about the price of foods and currently now people complaining the price of clothes etc, buying an expensive cloth is nice but if buying those clothes can cause financial problem it's best not to buy them, let's focus more on what we need and consider if buying what we desire will be of help first. From the topic people are yet to experience and live a better life so the world still need those things, the idea of sharing old stuffs sounds nice if you think your property are just too many give them out to those in need.

Had a hard time understanding the whole post. But if I understand it correctly, you mean to say is that "what's the point of producing thousands of products when people don't need too much?" Okay I get it. But you've said it yourself, you buy clothes every Christmas, that you have nowhere to place all your other clothes at home. But that is already your problem. Not the brands and the producers. Cause that's definitely the reason why these brands still produces more and more product regardless if it's expensive. Because people will still buy them even if they don't need it or even if they still have other stuff they can use.

You think that the producers are the problem here because they keep on producing thousands of same items. But it's not really like that. You just think that there's a low demand but in reality, there's a high demand. They're a business aiming for a profit. Why would they produce too many products if there are no people who are willing to buy it? It'll be a loss for them. But instead, you'll see theses businesses growing, since people are buying their items.

As long as there is still lust, there is no satisfaction in humans. Luxury cars and other branded goods are certainly not a necessity, those who have above average wealth can buy these goods because they want to fulfill their desires because they are supported by an abundance of money. Try doing a survey around where you live, most of them will answer your question with almost the same answer, if they have the financial ability they will buy luxury cars, houses like palaces and other luxury items.
This is a reality, you cannot get out of desire if it is supported by finances.

The designer shirts are nothing special from other shirts, the brand's logo hikes the price. The rich people wear those shirts to prove they have sufficient money to waste on cheap clothes, sold for a high amount due to the designer's name. In a few months, the clothe gets disposed of as rag. So, no special meaning in wearing those expensive clothes, if not to show off. Celebrities wear it for the music video business. While the super-rich don't patronize such clothes, they easily wear easy-looking clothes. Like the world's richest men, they also appear in cooperate wear to business meetings. Only the luxurious social media influencers wear expensive designers to help promote their page and that of the designer's shop. Other people who spend many luxurious items are the kids of rich men like Op said. But, in most cases, the super-rich rarely go broke to the extent of not falling back rich; their generation being homeless. It never takes a single year to be in the circle or family of 1%, the money is very old and can't diminish without any significant reason.

Take for instance, Big Paul, from the Castellano Family, he happened to be super rich and lived in the most expensive neighborhood in America. He continued his Father's meat butcher business and built more wealth through it. Such people didn't pass any financial disputes, as kids till adulthood.

For that single act, nothing is money to similar people who grew up in such families. They'll easily buy the most expensive cars, houses, and clothes. But, those who didn't grow up wealthy, but ended up rich. Don't easily spend lots of money on fancy things, like their kids would. Another people who spend lots of money on purchasing expensive things are the middle class people claiming to be rich. And, sooner they get poorer, leaving their kids, with no business, property, or job opportunity. Hence, they'll end up homeless like Op said. I think he's referring to the kids of this type of middle-class men.

You know, this just remind me of one of the famous qoute of Mahatma Gandi that "there's enough for our basic needs but not for our greed". I can attribute Op situation to greediness because there's no point buying more when you already have enough to the extent that you lack where to store the new ones. Of course, we need to satisfy our desires if need be but giving out the old ones to people that need them is not a bad idea. You can not compare the population of less privilege people and influential people on earth and you can easily reach out to them to donate the old stuffs and acquire new ones. You don't necessarily have to hoard the old and new stuffs in your stores and come here to ask companies to cut price or halt production.


Do people spend money in the wrong way? I don't think so because it depends on each individual's perspective. You spend the money on your own way which is okay to you but it might not be okay to me but I think we have less to say over such issue because we can not tell people how to spend their money because they work for it. However, some people need to be schooled on financial discipline because it's insane how they spend uncontrollably. Anything that has to do with finance is very complicated thou.

This is just the nature of humans. The human wants and desires are just insatiable.  The more our finances increase, the more we tend to acquire things, most times these things we acquire are things we do not necessarily need. Most times these things are acquired to boost our self esteem and make us feel important in the society, once the purpose for which we acquire them elapses, we dump them.


Earning more means increasing your purchasing power. What is the essence of earning if not to satisfy at least a good number of your numerous insatiable wants/desires? This is the human nature and limiting consumption just to save money will only make us unsatisfied. If you have the purchasing power and can afford what you desire, you go on with it, that is the fun of working hard. Commodities which are no longer needed can be recycled, resold or given out to those who need them more than you do.

That's right, in general and usually people only concentrate on earning more because they want to get freedom in terms of allocating the money they earn, it's not wrong because after all it's money from their own hard work, but on the other hand life will not always be like that and will not always give you good situations and conditions, there are some circumstances that can make you quite bad especially in financial matters such as emergencies that always cannot be fully predicted. So management is very important and must be done one of them such as limiting consumption for things that you don't really need.

Gratitude in every situation and condition is the main key, someone who can apply a feeling of gratitude will always feel enough in any condition in his life by allocating the money you make to something that you really need in your life and a little get rid of some desires that are basically unnecessary and not too important. And of course it is better to use or allocate the money to something that is useful or has the potential to provide development on the money you put like maybe investment or other things, of course, that you trust and that can provide benefits.

  Spending our money is normal; what is not normal is that we spend our money earned in the wrong way, and it only goes on meaningless things. Because the concentration must always be right for the end result to be good.

  There is probably no one in this age group who doesn't spend everything, right? Even poor people spend money, to be honest. The only important thing is that we spend what we deserve and only what will help our family.

What does the Federal Reserve have to do with this? The greed of people, the desire to show yourself "higher" than you are, to "be above the crowd", to consider yourself "elite" - this is a small list of those HUMAN traits that created this market and generated these goods ! In ancient times people dressed themselves in gold, sat on a golden throne, harnessed their horses with golden harness, and decorated their houses with precious stones - not because it is beautiful, but because the only option to exalt themselves above others and show "I am rich - and you are all poor". That's human nature. It's unpleasant to realize, but it's a fact, and we have only ourselves to blame....

It means:

• you cannot control your desires.
• local traditions (as if) require you to buy things you shouldn't buy.

In general, it's just a matter of mindset, I remember the famous quote "wealth can change lifestyle". I mean, this isn't just about the people on Forbes' top 1000 richest list. The formula of life is changing, as one easily accesses information to the "keys" to becoming rich, every day we have several new rich people with hundreds of their desires. This parameter is the reason why these luxurious and useless products will not stop increasing.
