3 unnecessary things we all want to have

We all want something. As I wrote in my previous blog - what I want to have right now, I listed 3 things that I really wanted that time. Well, I still like those items until now. But wait, you have to realize first one thing. Do you really need to have those expensive things? Although this is easy to say, most of us has a little greed inside of us.

Here are 3 things what most of us wants to have badly but aren’t life necessities.

1. Expensive cars

Yes, it can bring us prestige and fame but, do you really need that? If you ask me, I’d kill for a SUV like that but if you ask me if I’m going to buy one? Chances are, I wouldn’t. If you’ve read Robert Kiyosaki’s books - Rich Dad Poor Dad, that is one perfect example of a doodad. He defines Doodad as expenses that do not lead to financial freedom. Just get a car with four wheels and as long as it is running, then that would be ok. By the way, this is an additional, it also mustn’t be a gas guzzler.

2. Vacation homes

I know, me too. Almost everyone of us dreamt of one day having our own vacation houses. May it be in the Bahamas or somewhere secluded where you can have the peace that you always wanted to have, it is very useless (IMO), to tell you the truth, we have one and that made me realize that it really is not worth it. I will tell you one reason. We have a beach vacation house. Everyone knows that sea water is salty, thus, things get rusted easily. Without you knowing, you will be needing to renovate again. My 8 year beach house was renovated twice already costing a third of the entire value already.

3. Top of the line gadgets / electronics

I know that some of us have all the money to spend and I have no right to tell them how to spend their hard earned money. What I;m saying here is, you need not buy the latest release of mobile phone or laptop just for the sake of updating. Heck, I even doubt the mobile phone you own now is aged a decade. Just as an additional information, most tycoons do not even buy their own gadgets. It’s either given to them as a gift or they just really need it to be more productive. They became tycoons not because they spend money but because they know how to earn and save money.

Remember when buying expensive items, a dollar saved is also important. You wouldn’t have 1 million dollars if you only have $999,999.00
