I have observed that if you increase your needs, the new 'increased need state' becomes your new norm after a while. For example, if you didn't have car before but then you purchase it, use it regularly and then when you don't have it anymore — you'll miss your car, you'll feel like you can't live without it even though you managed to live without it before.

Do you agree with this observation? Would you agree that it's better to not increase your needs in first place?

Yes you are actually right, getting used to a particular thing and later find out that the thing is no more you will definitely going to miss it and it will hurt for some time, example your cellphone at least you were not having one and in as much as you were trying to get one you are a bit comfortable without it because you've not known the importance of it at that moment so you were copping fine, then all of a sudden you get one for yourself, start making use of it visiting the net doing some wonderful things with it, then all of a sudden you lost it and wasn't able to get another at that moment, do you think you will just look at it that after all I have been coping without it at first so why should I kill yourself over it, hell no you will feel emptiness of not having a phone like you started using it from the day you were born and you will miss it like your whole life depends on it.

There is no end to human needs. Human needs cannot be met. You are right, but there is a big difference between a car and a mobile phone. Of course, you have to spend money on petrol in a car. But you can make an income with a car. Which can lead to a better situation in the future.

But you have mentioned mobile phones here. In fact, if a person gets used to mobile phones, he can gradually become addicted to mobile phones. In this way, his life can be . At some point, he will see that he cannot live without mobile phones. His life will be ruined like this. On one hand, mobile phones will waste money, on the other hand, they will ruin his future.
