Where did your money go?

In life, people study hard, live hard, and pay off debts. But after paying off all the bills, many people had very little money left at the end of the month. People have college loans, car loans, credit card loans, and home loans, and they weigh down on people like mountains, making people lose hope. If you sprinkle a little more salt on the wound – the current income seems far from what we think it "should be." We are surrounded by countless advertisements that promote must-buy things. We're going to buy the latest luxury car, and the "old" SUV is out of use. We want to upgrade (replace) the phone. Friends around me either go on vacation to exotic attractions, or take the whole family to Disney, and go more than once, which makes people feel that they are outdated if they don't travel. There's even a new term for this situation: FOMO – Fearof Missing out. In today's society, everyone falls into FOMO. Whether it's a beauty cream, a dress, or a suit, these are the things that make people look more handsome, more spiritual, more beautiful, and richer, and we must buy them, or we will be left behind. If you had to make a list, it could be endless: new home decorations, new decorations, new shoes, new experiences... Everything is new, new, new. Advertisers, TV shows, and even friends around us are brainwashing us from time to time: what you have now is not good enough. It is true that we would not do anything without these good things, but our children cannot do without them. What parent hasn't heard a child clamoring, "If I don't have something my friends have, I'll die"? Or: "Everybody has (any of the latest items or fashions), but I don't!" I look particularly failed! Mom and Dad begged you, buy me one! Of course, not only do children do this, but there are definitely people around us who will constantly show off their latest "booty", and we can't help but say to ourselves: "This TV, I liked it an hour ago, but now it looks too cheap and too broken." 」 I'm going to buy a new one too! And when we can't afford to buy the same money from our friends, we feel anxious. When we see rich people enjoying a good life by doing nothing (it's just that we think so), we get angry: "I work as hard as they do!" I also deserve to have something wonderful! "We complain, we are never satisfied. There are always people who have better things than we have, there are always people who experience more things than we do, and there is always something wrong.
