It is easier to define whether or not you can afford something than whether you need it in the first place.

About This Quote

The amount of money that we have is not as important as the way we use that money. Many people base their happiness on how much they have and what they own. If they do not have enough, then they feel unhappy. But if the person has too much, it is useless and makes them even less happy. Therefore, happiness lies in knowing exactly how much you need and what you need to do because of your needs and not by how much you have.
