How do you know what you want?
rokhayakebe: This is a very interesting question with no possible answer. That is due to the fact that every single minute what you think you want is changing.What could help is to make a distinction between the material things we want (house, cars...) and the things and the other things we want (a family...).As an exercise I sat out to write down the things (material) I convinced myself I have to have before I die. To my surprise my list include between 6 to 10 items and the total cost did not surpass $200k-$250k.I then realized that I was working too hard while what I wanted (or think I want) could be easily achieved.Writing what you believe you want is a great exercise. You may be surprise that what you think you want on a daily basis is very different from what you really want inside.
