If we dont buy dream car or dream house and save the money, invest in more solid things, will it be bad for you?

Why must have dream car and dream house even though already have a good house and decent car? End up paying installment and mortgage forever, ikat perut.

I dont see the logic.

I know women also buy expensive things no logic sometimes, I dont agree with them also, at least I dont do it, I rather save the money for my daughter future.

If say buy expensive car and house can make my future better somehow, then maybe, but they dont right?

No offense but I think this is kinda shallow mindset, not criticize, just stating the logic.

The world needs buyers to run?

If nobody spend then economy collapse

U see the big picture now? Of course there are those who refrain from spending or spend very little, but everyone cannot just stop spending.

If everyone just save their money in bank, then a recession would occur with businesses folding and unemployment sky rocket.

Case in point: This MCO.1-month lockdown, people cannot spend. See what already happened...

Spend what you have on what you need, not what you dont have on what you want.

If you rich, sure, spend it, if not, why die die want spend?

This is what I learned to make life better, less stress, more money for emergency and future.

Don’t stress yourself about what people do with their money. Learn to make life better without unnecessary stress especially when it’s none of your business.

Because I keep seeing them post here no money, masalah social and so on after spend money they shouldnt on dream this dream that.

Many poor people suffering because no choice, they dont have to suffer because of dream this dream that, so unnecessary, can easily avoid kan?

Just offering my views, maybe can help someone. lol

Dreams are what powers our hopes and aspirations and ambitions. Without a dream car, dream house, dream career, dream woman to reach for, we might not know the meaning of motivation, drive and we may fail to see the value of hard work and perseverance.

Too easily satisfied, and the human ambition is quenched, and with it, innovation and progress. Too easily placated, and we may never reach for the stars and land on the moon - and all the technology that was a by product of that dream - from microwave ovens to Velcro, may never have been invented.

Your mileage may vary.

Can have better lasting dreams than dream car and dream house.

Yes, I'm sure that's valid according to your opinion, but then again, you cannot be the sole arbiter of truth and veracity - and every person is entitled to his or her view as to what constitutes a "better lasting" dream.

Is Hitler's dream good and should be copied? Since all subjective.

Not saying dream car dream house trend chasing is same as Hitler but its still shallow, vanity, ignorant consumerism that do more harm than good, unless you can afford it, but its still perpetuating a bad culture. Why not dream of electric car? Help fight climate change?

Better have dream to change the world, invent technology, fix politic, become doctor, etc.

chasing dream car dream house when you already have car and house is not really contributing to progress in my opinion. Its just shallow, vanity, ignorant consumerism.

If chasing dream to invent spaceship or new energy technology, then yes very noble.

there's a flaw in your thinking as well. Why keep all the money? it's the same with those guys hoarding after big properties and nicer cars but for your case it's paper.

Personally the most precious thing for me would be time. Money, investment, house, car, they aren't so important in life after all. Most importantly is spending as much time as i could with people who do matter to me. Give what you can and take what you need.

I didnt say keep, I said invest in important things that makes your future better.

That's why I invest in guiding her, not just throw money and forget, that's bad parenting.
