Fulfilling your lifestyle needs or requirements is fine. However, to avoid spending or wasting a lot of money on lifestyle, what should you do?
Is Lifestyle a Primary or Secondary Need?
In your opinion, which type of need does lifestyle fall into? Is it a primary need or a secondary need?
As seen on Wikipedia, lifestyle actually falls into the category of secondary needs. Why secondary needs? Because lifestyle is not something that is urgent and if it is not fulfilled it is not that big of a deal.
Secondary needs are different from primary needs. Primary needs, as the name suggests, are needs that are very important to be met first. Because if they are not fulfilled, a person's survival could be threatened. You may still remember the lessons at school about the need for food, clothing and shelter, which are categorized as primary needs. After primary needs are met, then secondary needs are met. The goal is more towards achieving a better life.
Even secondary needs can have different levels of priority. Transportation to the office, for example, is a bigger priority than buying fashion products or gadgets to fulfill your lifestyle needs.
