Habit of Spending: Make the World Goes Round

Generation differs; Habits and Value Changes

"Fifty cents bigger than ox-cart wheel," was what our predecessors lived by.
They valued money, and saved every cent they can manage. Getting by with life with bare necessities; all in the mentality of saving for the rainy day.

"We earn to spend." This is the motto of the current generation. What is the purpose of money and running a rat race, if not to spend them all with zeal and gusto?

Cost of living increases each day on a global basis, are people able to do what they want to?

Standard of living is relative.
People can live a contented life; regardless of the amount they earn.

Spending, as a habit, is more important than it is for us on a individualistic point of view.
We save, so that we can spend. Each of us come to this world without anything, each of us cannot
bring anything along with us as we leave as well.

By learning to spend, we create a need for a job in another place, for another person, who in turn
can spend on a certain thing, which might be a contributing factor to our pay check at the end
of the month.

Spend, make the world go round.

That, my friend, is called "consumerism" - believe it or not, a big chunk of the world does not live by it :)
