I really don't think people know why they go to work any more, it just seems that society says you need to have societies idea of a real job or you are not a part of society. I'm not sure people work to buy and enjoy toys anymore.
I do see and hear a lot of why do you need that, why are you spending money on that, that is a want, you don't really need it. You need to understand the difference between need, want and desire, stop wasting your money. I have been guilty of that before, but some times you need to put want and desire above need in order to fulfill a need, and people do not understand that.
You don't need to buy/invest in crypto, it is a want in order to fulfill a possible future need. The idea that if buying today, you may go hungry, is good for today if you don't buy, but what about in ten years when you may find it difficult to forage free food from nature like a cheery tree, or an apple tree or a birds nest, or any dozens upon dozens of other free food from nature. The point is there are always very good reason to not buy toys, to not buy wants, to not buy desires, and by not buying those a life of work is meaningless.
They work to buy, the enjoy part seems to be an unfilled expectation, so they buy bigger and better.
Yes, but there has to be balance. For many, it becomes much like an addiction always requiring more to satisfy, but still leaving an unquenchable hole.
Yes, but it is toward a collective need also, one that sets in motion the replacement of a system that is ever faster crushing the majority within it.
