Thousands of desires with no money to fulfill all of them

I have thousands and thousands of things needed or desires to buy with no money to buy them. I think most probably it must be desire that makes me want things. I wanted tablet, laptop, dth connection, dual sim mobile phone, tv tuner card, solar home system, dvd player, ah the list goes on and on. I wonder why we all have desires to buy things that we do not need in life and what you do if you are having such desires. Will you borrow money and buy it or just wait until you have enough money to buy them.

hello ajithlal, well, I think it is our desires that make our life better and give us purpose to work and earn more... well, it is good to make a list and give them rate, which one do you love most and about benefit of if you get that then what will you feel and what will you do.... then make a list and give them number one this.. number two I want this.. then just concern on first number and do your hard work to get it.. imagine yourself if already you have that and manifest that in to your life.. and then, you can take them by saving or just by credit... when you have a desire and manifest that, then how it will come to you is the work of universe...

I am mad at Lemon LT29 tablet that I saw in Big Bazaar. I want a laptop so that I can work on it when the current goes. I want a TV tunercard so that I can record the television channels. There it goes. I think most probably I will work for each of them and mostly earn money for it.

Sometimes I get crazy thoughts like if I cut down the expenses like tea and some other things most probably I might be able to save money and so what I would do is go and buy the things I need and save the money and pay the credit card with the expenses I can cut down, but in reality I think it is not possible.

be sure that you can get them easier and faster than you would think I have got something in my life like that... checking of how the universe respond to our desires and how it manifest to us.... make step by step plans and go for it... for each success add a smiley in front of completed desire and be grateful and thankful for it..

If I am having such desires I set small goals for myself. What is it I want the most? What item can I afford or I can save for in short order? Then I save for it, buy it and enjoy it. If want something else I do the same thing again. I don't barrow money or that is like buying two and having to pay one back. I buy it free and clear and go from there.

Hi friend, you are right. We all have a lot of desires and dreams. Even though we don't need the thing, we have dreams and desires to buy it. Mostly we like all the luxury items and wish to have them as our own one. We need a lot of money to fulfill all our dreams and desires. Since desires don't have any limitations, so most of us are interested in getting various things to enjoy our life

I think it is good to control the desires and I think most probably when one desire is satisfied we will have another one.

I love to take pictures and simply I want to just have a digital camera. And so, for me to be able to possess one, I hardly earn for it. My salary is just enough for my daily living so I hardly convince my self to earn just to have one. Fortunately, I had one already.

hi, Ajithlal well, i think that's something we can't avoid it. we are human we have desires, if you don't, then i think it'll become strange. well, me too, i have lot of thing i want to have, i want to fulfill all of my desires. but of course i have to wait until i can make money by myself. it's really hard, but you know, when we fulfill our wish with our strength, it feel like something cool, we feel relaxed cause we can do anything with our result oh working hard, don't you agree?

I also agree with you that we need to work hard to fulfill it. I think most probably the desires and things we want make us a better person especially on working hard.

it is humanly impossible&unnecessary to fulfil all desires.desires arise on their own.u ve to keep submitting them¬ hold on to them.as u keep submitting them,then fewer desires arise.eg uwant to go to a movie,u buy a ticket,then u submit it to the doorman.then only he will allow u to go in ,what if u refuse submit it?

Like most we either have to 1. go with out 2. get a loan or 3. go into debt to get the things we want or need . I have lots of big wants... my list is huge and expensive. Alot of it isn't even for me but my house as it's falling appart and needs many repairs and upgrades but never enough money for us to even get installment loans til we pay off others. I wish life wasn't so expensive.

Instead of want, want of things, set goals that focus your energy on what is important in your life. I can't tell you what is important to you, but I can say that the only things you bring into this world and that you can take out of it are made of positive energy or negative, your choice.

Yes, everybody has plenty of desires, which is but natural. However, to make a lot of money is very difficult. To make money, one has to work like a bull. I have many desires such as travelling and going to large restaurants to eat. But now you know how expensive restaurants are. It is difficult to make money to spend on such things. it seems that we have to be content with just desiring.

i think we desire such things because we just want to enjoy life and be entertained. we get attracted to these things and gadgets, we become curious how and what it feels when we have it,.we desire to be able to experience them. as for me, i also have things i've seen that i wish and desire i could have, but i would not want to borrow money to be able to get them, but i'll just wait that i have enough money, hopefully i could fulfill my desire and get to have them too.

I will never borrow money from someone just to satisfy my desire of something most especially things that is expensive. Because I am afraid that in the end, I might not pay the person in full cash or something might have problem most especially putting up interest on the money you had borrowed. The factor that most people are craving on something is because it has been endorsed by so many platforms most especially in media, so as we walk by in places such as in Malls, we are tempted to sneak on such items because it becomes a fad. If I were on such trait, I would rather hold a grip of myself and start saving a LOT of money so that I can buy the things that I want. It’s also good to do extra work so that you can have the things that you want. As the saying goes, “we can’t have all the fortune in this world” so it’s best that we make effort in order that we can achieve getting such items.

I also think that when we started borrowing most probably we will continue practice without stopping it.

You can never fulfill your desire. No human can. But it's good to feel happy whatever you have till you earn some money to buy them. Even if you will be a CEO of some organization, you will think that you need more and more. So, be happy and happy mylotting

Yeah, I do have many desires too but I would see which is priotity and necessities. I would not borrow money to buy things which I could not afford to pay. If I need to forgo the those things, I will . I do not want to burden myself unnecessary

We have different wants and needs indeed. But whatever is our need, we don't need to borrow money just to fulfill it. If it is a necessity, what you think is important, you go and earn money and buy that necessity. But those wants can wait. Live a life which is debt free. It is much easier for us to live a life that is debt free, we will not worry about paying back our loans and our credit.

Holy moley that is a nice list! I can't say too much, though. I'm the same way. I will not borrow money for the things I want, but I will often find other ways around getting them. I would like to have a tablet as well, but I would want to get a Nook HD, that way it's a two for. I would love a new laptop too that is much faster than mine, and that has a webcam and microphone built into it. I have a DVD player, but it would be fun to upgrade and to also have surround sound... but I doubt I will ever have the money to get this stuff soon. Maybe oneday!

I would sometimes dream of wanting to buy things for me and for my family. But I have never thought of having to borrow money from others just to be able to buy those "wants". I still would want to acquire those things through my own efforts.

Hi, You are right. everyone has many desires in life. But don't have enough money to fulfill them. As you have listed the things which are not necessary for our living. They are just for enjoyment. We are finding happiness from such materialistic things. I also have many desires. But I don't want to fulfill my desires by borrowing money. I will wait for the enough money to buy them.

the need or desire only arises depending the time,place or situation i am in so before i decide buying something i really think it over before spending my hard earned money.. i do this because in the past i have money and i just buy what beautiful to my eyes and after sometime i would realise that i don't need it anymore..

I feel you my friend,. If only I could have anything I want. We don't have contentment, we always want something, even if we don't really need them. I wanted a lot of things, but I don't think borrowing money would be the answer to that. If we want something then we should work hard to get it., right? =) Borrowing money would just give us headache afterwards. =) While earning them would give us satisfaction,.
