I believe a key element to finding satisfaction and fulfilment is through perspective. This probably seems obvious but most people fail to recognise this fact.
I was always taught to keep things in perspective and to look at the big picture. My family was relatively well-off in their country of origin (grand father owned a coal factory) but due to war they made the decision to leave everything behind in hopes of attaining a better life in Australia. My parents started from scratch and worked hard to provide my siblings and me a better life. If times were ever tough; our parents would remind us to put things in perspective (recognising countries in war, kids suffering from starvation, etc) which made us realise how lucky we already were.
This is probably cliché but, some people see the glass as half empty while others see it as half full. Some people look at the rich/wealthy and want more without realising what is enough. Maybe putting things back in perspective may help them?
p.s. don’t buy things you can’t afford with money you don’t have to impress people you don’t like
