Separate Your Needs and Desires

Posted by admin on Jun 17, 2009

Be careful if you can not distinguish between needs and desires. Because if you can not distinguish which is the entrance as the demand and which are actually entered as the desire, probably you can be a wasteful person.

And this can be a spendthrift mother in your financial problems. With lavish living, long run deficit can occur. Your income will not more able to finance the expenditure, which continues to expand because of the nature wasteful. And if the deficit is, often find a way out of the debt that is short. Debt, especially high rate, can make you bankrupt. And it is the end of your financial fate.

So what is the difference between needs and desires?


In fact there is no limit to determine the exact differences between the needs or desires. But a friend gave me the following definitions:

Needs are things that are required so that people can achieve prosperity, so that when there is a need not fulfilled then the people will not feel safe or less safe. While the desire is something extra on the expected demand can be met so that these people feel more satisfied. However, if the desire is not fulfilled then welfare is not reduced.

Standard needs and desires for each person can be so different. Of course, very dependent of environmental conditions, daily activities, work demands / profession, and so forth. If we are able to distinguish where the needs and desires which we can determine the priorities, which take precedence, and which can be delayed.

Although you may now feel able to satisfy all your desires, but we must remain prudent, do not forget to the needs in the future. We must prepare for pension funds so that we can enjoy the peaceful old days, we must also prepare for the funding of education our children, and that all the needs of the future is to be prepared now.

Should remember is, do not satisfy the desire to ignore the needs. And do not forget that the needs are not only chasing for present time, because there are still needs to be fulfilled in the future. Meanwhile, the human desire will never be have a limit, now or later.
