Human desires are of course very diverse and we will not be satisfied if we only spend our salary. If we had an income of $1 billion per year, we might spend it and we would not be able to fulfill all our desires, so the $1 billion is gone and many of our desires have not been achieved.

Most of the well earners that are still enjoying their adulthood don't still prioritize investment because they prefer to clubbing, drinking with friends, partying, and other easy go lucky activities, because they are thinking that they only live once, and they can afford it, they can earn it again.
They don't care about their future, the backfire of their activities that don't secure themselves in the future, no savings, no emergency funds, just flexing their salary through social medias and by treating their friends every single time.
Such an example you stated only proves how important it is for us to know what to prioritize in life and how to balance our wants and needs. Although we cannot blame those individuals who choose to spend their well-earned money to enjoy life and live in the moment by going to clubs, parties, easy-go-lucky activities, and excessive shopping, we can surely learn from them by knowing the positive and negative effects of their chosen lifestyle and scaling which one is predominant. I've seen and known people who are able to enjoy those listed things while ensuring that they are able to maintain their savings, have emergency funds, and even invest. They don't care about their future, the backfire of their activities that don't secure themselves in the future, no savings, no emergency funds, just flexing their salary through social medias and by treating their friends every single time.

A person's needs are not limited, human needs will continue to exist because as time progresses and unsupportive environmental factors will make us even more deficient in everything, that's why the nature of human needs will never be answered, the problem is that our needs and desires are often sacrificed. Our salary is to meet everyone's living needs.
Believe it or not, how many people collect their salary just to meet their needs? so many, right? Yes, it is a fact that many people spend a month working and after getting their salary they buy the necessities for their lives. This step continues to be done every month, some even do it their whole life.
This is true. It is a continuous process that we will never grow out of. We will always find other things we'll realize we need and we will work just for it. And you are right, we often sacrifice our needs and desires because of the lack of resources we have due to lack of money. Believe it or not, how many people collect their salary just to meet their needs? so many, right? Yes, it is a fact that many people spend a month working and after getting their salary they buy the necessities for their lives.

We can see and learn different things every day. The world may present us with different things every day. This being the case, it is very natural that we need something different. As we grow and learn, our needs also change. When our needs change, the things we want to buy or achieve also change.
I think this process is a law of nature and people adapt to this situation. In fact, this is a situation that develops spontaneously.
As you said, many people receive their salary just to meet their needs. There are also many people who give up and sacrifice their other needs because they cannot achieve what they want.

First I would say "human needs are insatiable." Upon attending to some current needs, definitely others will arise. So, even if you spend all your earnings trying to solve every of your needs, that doesn't mean that other needs might not arise.
Often times it's good to remind ourselves that we are still in the real world and have to come out of the world of fantasy.
This is mostly concerned with people who have not really gained a strong grasp on wealth and finance, i.e., those who are not really financially stable. Although it concerns all, but mostly those who are less financially stable.
Bitcoin investment doesn't require a pocket full of money before you can invest, but it's something you can do with in a peaceful mind and with no minimum or maximum amount. It also doesn't put restrictions on the amount of Bitcoin people want to buy or hold, so it's better to invest than to wait until you have finished satisfying all your needs before you think of investing in Bitcoin.
I am not saying that personal needs, some challenges, and problems should not be attended to, but there are some secondary and tertiary needs that can be attended to later. Some people are earning well, but they want to settle all their needs before investing in Bitcoin or into something that will be profitable to them in the future. But even the needs they are trying to solve are unending, because the more needs they solve, the more they others evolve in a short time.
For example, even if someone has $10, 000 in their account and they decide to spend all that money on the current problem or financial needs that they are faced with at that moment, the next moment they will still have some new needs and desire evolving, which also require attention, and by then they will still need more money to tackle whatever issue it is.
So, folks, I wish to remind us to always keep to your budget, still hold on to your savings, and invest for the future. Don't always think you can use your entire savings to solve today's problem, forgetting that tomorrow's needs, desires, and problems are going to evolve.
I shared this based on some mistakes I made a few months ago when I took a lot of responsibility on my shoulder and took out a whole deal out of my savings to solve some problems, with the hope that I would start saving again to cover what I had taken out, but... more needs even arise.

You're right in many respects, like locusts - humanity will consume all available resources and expend them if given the opportunity. Greed is a powerful motivator in human nature and is endless unless it is contained by laws or governments. However there are people who do find an equilibrium where your headline statement might not apply. Some people are happy with what they've got and achieved in life, not wanting for anything extra, but they will be quite rare. The super rich are also generally in a position where all their needs are met, but they don't have a salary like regular people. The main point is, try not to go into debt and live within your means to get that extra bit of happiness out of life.

It is better that we don't think of only today but we should also think about tomorrow, because when you invest for tomorrow, it will help you secure your future and make you live a better life, this is the reason why investing in bitcoin is very important. Using all the funds that you have today without investing it shows how shallow your financial mentality is because what has been spent can't be retrieved. This is why as long as you are earning, you should try and invest some fraction into bitcoin so that you don't misuse that money for irrelevant or unnnecessary things that will depreciate with time.
No matter how hard you try to solve a problem, it will never be solved. Sometimes we have to remember this because without death, we can never be satisfied in life, which is why we typically observe even our elders who have made millions of dollars continuing to pursue money. Money has a spirit that we can never be satisfied with, which is why it differs from everything else that has been created in the world. Investing your money is one of the best things someone should do when they have money, as investing is made of future earnings. What I'm trying to say is that investing is a thing that we do to have a good life in the future, even if we are no longer here, our family will benefit from it.
Additionally, investing is not for those with weak minds, as some people, despite having millions of dollars in their bank accounts, have no interest in doing so. They argue that it would be better to keep their money in their bank account rather than risk it on an uncertain investment. Similarly, some of us have money but have no interest in investing it in a way that will increase the value of our current holdings. My recommendation to everyone who has money and isn't facing many or serious financial issues is to invest it in bitcoin. However, during the process, I still urge everyone to refrain from investing all of their money because you never know what circumstances you'll encounter or whether you'll run into trouble occasionally.

Everything will depend on how we manage our finances. Whether we can manage it well or not. Self-satisfaction or pampering yourself is also an important thing in life. To provide higher enthusiasm in working harder to make more money. But someone who is married, for example, like a father. A father even seems satisfied and happy when he can give or buy things that his child or wife wants. This can provide satisfaction in itself. In the sense that we can feel happy when we can make the people we care about happy.
It is true that at the end of the day, it all comes down to how well we can manage our finances. No matter how many financial resources we have, if we fail to live by the means of our income then it wouldn't matter. Moreover, although you are right and I see your point regarding the drive satisifaction gives to individuals, I believe it shouldn't be a big priority, since after all being able to gain money and have financial stability brings much satisfaction to any individual already. It is best to remember that before indulging ourselves with our wants to receive satisfaction, we first should answer to our needs that will undountedbly bring much satisfaction as well.

The unpredictability of tomorrow(s) should always stand a threat as to indict to of poverty should be enough reasons to invest and fight against the challenge (poverty) else time come where there would be inability to chase them no more.
Problems are a requirement to solution is a daily routine to mankind unless one has sold its potentials to carelessness but yet its percussion awaits at its time of old age(tirement) where there would not be chances to even get the least you settles for during your ability period of chances to invest as a goal to makr better future instead of saying retirement has got you settled for betterment of today.
Needs that calls for solutions never seizes it you don't have one, of course responsibilities are there gazing at you but you must be concious that if you can have all your time life savings to chase them all away, how about other times? And others responsibilities yet to be attended?
Imagine your staggering ability to fit on to afford 3 square meals on daily bases but yet you dedicate to be sure of the 3 square meals daily without considering tomorrow has its stomach feeds(hunger) definitely you can't keep continue to afford the 3 square meals on daily bases due to your financial staggering. At this time if you had economized to minimize your other 3 square meals on the other daily basis, you wouldn't look for what to eat at other days that you can't even afford 1 square meals anymore.

You have brought up a great fact, nowadays people try to do more than what they have. When a person has wealth he thinks about how to increase it, always looking to improve his plans. For example if you have 1 bitcoin you will definitely try to buy 2 bitcoins later, so I think people's needs are never met. Everyone wants to do something good in the future and what he plans today tries to make his plans successful tomorrow. So when a person spends his savings he definitely tries to use that money to buy something good in the future so that he can move forward.

There is a difference between needs and wants. In most cases, the needs should be satisfied first, and wants can be ignored. The needs are essential for surviving while wants are just luxuries. Depending on the capability of a person especially his wage capacity, most needs can't even be met, even basic needs are hard to meet these days due to price inflation. So it is better to look for another source of income if we want to satisfy ourseleves and meet the extra baggage (wants) in life.
That is why you can't meet all your wants even if you use all of your salary. The more you fuel your wants the more they burn meaning if you buy a new phone because it is the latest and new to the market you will still not be satisfied after a new phone is released after a week and it will continue the cycle.
People are shaken already now because of the price of food or anything that you need to buy. That is why others tend to not easily buy their wants and they already knew that they would struggle if they prioritized their wants first. Unless you have extra money that you don't know how to spend or you are rich then for sure they are still going for their wants instead of their needs.
If a person is an employee and has no other family to help, he can buy the things he wants to buy that are covered based on his salary, of course. But if you are the breadwinner in a family, his salary is definitely not enough, and of course he will prioritize the things they need in their daily lives. And it's not easy to budget a salary if you all shoulder all the bills in your family.
You will lose time to prioritize the things you want to buy for yourself because you will prioritize your family, unless your salary is really big for a month. It's like, you make sure to yourself that everything you spend will go to something important.
There are a lot of cases of people who are breadwinners and they are working so hard like they have a child to feed and I am just happy but sad at the same time for that kind of person as they need to shoulder their family on his shoulders though he is really a responsible person as he is doing it.
You will need to sacrifice things so that you can provide for yourself and your family. This is really what life is like. We need to just work hard and work smartly so that we can earn more.
how to make ourselves more better in terms of progress and sustainability. Being a breadwinner is never been that simple and something that you would really be that needing to sacrifice something just to provide anything for your family. I did really come into a point on which becoming a breadwinner into my own family on which you would really be carrying up the responsibility on your shoulder on which it is really that heavy.
Its not simple but life must go on because if you do surrender then for sure lots would be affected specially your family, its really a heavy responsibility that you do have on your shoulder but you dont really have no choice
but to go along with the challenges in life. Dont give up and make yourself that wise on every decisions that you would be making.

At this time most young people who work think of working only to buy the latest branded goods or follow the current association that always prioritizes style to look luxurious, few of them only think about the future to come, they work only to fulfill the current style with branded goods that they have which will give them satisfaction, great they only prioritize lifestyle to be seen by others even though there will be a future to come and must be prepared from now on.
There is nothing wrong with buying branded goods that they want for themselves but they also have to think about the future because they do not live in the present alone there is a period of time.
I personally don't find anything wrong in spending money on yourself and doing or buying what you like that you don't have as long as you can afford to do that, however, there should be a limit to that. Even if you are working at a very young age and don't have that many responsibilities like you don't have a family to feed, you don't have a wife and children, and all you need to do is take care of yourself and your own needs and wishes that you can do with your own money now.There is nothing wrong with buying branded goods that they want for themselves but they also have to think about the future because they do not live in the present alone there is a period of time.
People who have long-term thinking will surely start preparing for their future as soon as they start earning money, that doesn't mean they don't spend any of the money that they are earning but they will also keep saving or start making investments so that they can have a secure future.

The people who are ready to spend all their money from their salary,he will slowly satisfy their desire.Due to the family all the person was committed with the many financial struggles,the unavoidable thing of the person was their parent medical expenses at the early stages.So apart from the family expenses,he can satisfy some of their desire using their salary.But he need to plan in the way to spend both on the family and their needs,spending on one thing will affect for sure.Either his family or his self satisfaction will be affected.

I disagree with you on this one. I know a lot of individuals who are living on their own and whose families are not financially dependent on them yet it is a far stretch to say that they are able to buy everything they want from their work salary alone. Hence, I think it is more proper to day that whatever the household financial situation is, whether an individual is spending their salary all on their self or for their family, if one doesn't budget their income properly and be smart in handling their money then such individual with never have the luxury of buying the things they want as they are busy providing for their needs.

If we can control ourselves from our desires then the income we earn will be sufficient for us, but if we follow our desires too often then whatever income we get will certainly make us unable to save let alone invest from the salary we have. Being able to control our desires will indeed be very easy if we hear it from motivators, but to do it all depends on our own personality, we need to work hard to be able to do it. You are right that people who have a lot of wealth buy things not for their needs but because they need recognition from people that they can have it and it doesn't matter how much money they spend.
If a person is an employee and has no other family to help, he can buy the things he wants to buy that are covered based on his salary, of course. But if you are the breadwinner in a family, his salary is definitely not enough, and of course he will prioritize the things they need in their daily lives. And it's not easy to budget a salary if you all shoulder all the bills in your family.
You will lose time to prioritize the things you want to buy for yourself because you will prioritize your family, unless your salary is really big for a month. It's like, you make sure to yourself that everything you spend will go to something important.
