Consumerism as a recipe for success

[DARPA]

Once in conversation one friend told me his recipe for success. He says - you need to spend more! Like, if you reduce your need, then very soon there will be only potatoes and pickles, and of travel will be a choice between "flat-Metro office" and "flat-Metro Park", nothing more. Immediately in my head surfaced picture of the Russian drama "loans and lenders," but immediately taken aback buddy replica "But no credit!" This is interesting!


What is a typical poor person? A person with low income, malnourished, living in the modest living conditions, with no possibility normally to rest, to receive medical care. Why is it poor? Because his low salary. Why is it not enough to pay? Because he has a rather low professional qualifications. Why is it the fig professional? Because he does not develop itself as a specialist. Why did not he develops himself as a specialist? Because Putin and "United Russia" to blame! In general collapse of the Union, such filth! And, to be honest, is guilty neighbor out got a new job, bought a new car, as an evil!

Buddy brings the first argument. Andrew, you know, when I first began to think about, to go earn a loader while studying at the university? When wanted to buy cool shoes! On a scholarship and pocket money my parents could buy a piece of shit sneaker easier, but I liked the ones - beautiful brand crosses! And you know what? A week later I bought them. Then there were a good pair of jeans. Then the car, watch, first trip to Italy.


If I had not gone to work, continues to broadcast the snob to loot my friend, I'd learned to suppress the desire of the good life. I bought shoes down and out? Normally, it is possible to go ?! Instead of the desired jeans bought some Chinese pants? Normally, not naked though. Instead of "Merce" - "Kalina"! The same machine, does it really matter on what your ass to carry. No, not all the same. If a person dies desire for the good life, rather it develops virtuosity justification of worthlessness! What to do something? And so life is good, all the hunger in Africa, and in Syria - the war. In Russia, everything is good and peaceful.


But really. Why are millions of Russians do not want to develop? Because they are satisfied with the present life. For example, some logic, when a crisis occurs? We spend less! No, we will not get more by improving their skills, and we will spend less. The point is that now the world is very dynamic, and to remain popular, you need to constantly improve ourselves to be better than the competition. It used to be the operator of computer set - it was kind of activity, and now it even sounds funny. It is learning how to use a mobile phone and naive to believe that such skills will increase your salary.

We now consider the option, when a person begins to increase its financial expenses. I bought expensive clothes, for example. I realized that in the world, it turns out, there are quality clothes! And I like it. We need to save for quality shoes! You can save 3 months if the earning of 10 000 rubles per month, but you can buy per month, if your salary is 60,000 rubles. The next logical question is: what to do to not receive 10 000 and 60 000 ?! Man asks questions and sincerely trying to solve them. I think you understand why loans will not help? They simply create the illusion of a solution.

You somehow think? Increased costs will give motivation to earn more? Or, after all, you need to hone the skill to save? For example, an operator of a computer set 10 years ago, received 30,000 rubles and 15,000 rubles today. Is he supposed to do? Raise or lower the qualifications of their requests?
