In life sometimes we find fulfillment spending money Irrespective of how much was spent and this is because there was more than one accomplishment of which that particular amount was about to actualise. In earnest when you find your finances or bank account to seem limitless, you might not even care if your spendings exceeded your daily prognosis because if a monetary attempt fails then for a certainty there's always another pile of currency waiting to be spend, however no matter how rich you are, if the amount of money you spend doesn't really achieve a Viable aim then till your finances elapses you'll have done nothing meaningful and that's money not given more than one purpose. In essence, scarcity has many advantages than when we have a lot to pour around and this is because scarcity brings a certain check and balance to how we do things with money and this makes us financially responsible to a certain level.

So for a person with limitations, they're always satisfied when money spent is well spent and we can see the results in either a short term or a long term basis and this doesn't only positively affect the individual, it also affects the economic system of a country in a really positive manner. Sometimes ago I had limited amount of money on me and due to the fact that I wasn't really bouyant as I use to be I decided that financial prudence was the only way to make how much I have last longer. So whenever I'm spending money on transportation, I use to make sure to have a long list of pre-planned purchase from that particular destination Which I'm spending money to transport, sometimes it could be going to a remote area to visit my village, truth was transport from an urban area to a rural area is very expensive, but because food in a rural area is more cheaper, what I usually do is to buy a large quantity of food when going to a rural area and the amount of the money I would have spent on buying the same amount of food in an urban area would have covered the amount of money I spent going to a rural area in other to specifically actualise another aim. So I actually used to Money for two aims spending less or food and going to my village which means when I get to an urban area I'll begin to enjoy the extra utility my money is obviously affording me.

So it's actually a Satisfaction in the Sense that I understand the onus of spending money on food items at a costly rate in an urban setting so at the end of the day I'll have derived a kind of satisfaction from actually spending money Irrespective of what I spent, to what purpose I spent it and what means I used in spending it. Truth is we can't avoid spending money and the reason for this is that we live to accrue responsibilities and responsibilities needs money to actualise them, the only thing we do is to plan on how to cover more responsibilites with a limited amount of money. That is doing more with less and this is why we have the study of economics in the first place. To proffer solutions to the problems of scarcity.

In essence spending doesn't necessarily makes one happy and the reason is because you're actually giving out and your means is depleting but this feeling comes from having a whole lot to cater for. We need plans, framework and structure on how to spend money because when we don't we would be overwhelmed. Sometimes we would spend money on things we consider responsibilities yet these things aren't even priorities for the short term. We need to look and ask questions like how does this thing I'm spending money on actually influences my living? If we can't find answers even after a long time of renumeration, then we've gotten our answers. The truth is, you're not comfortable when you look at needs and wants and they're a huge gap from what your income looks like and that's why you need to always make estimations and valuations and preferences when there is overwhelming limitations when it comes to finances.
