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?
But to say that it is always better not to increase needs depends on the context. It is different when it is a basic need. For example, a car can significantly improve the quality of life if it is necessary for transportation to work or for meeting basic needs. In such cases, increasing needs is not only logical, but necessary.
After a while, new needs can become the new norm, and this can make it difficult to live without them. However, increasing needs is very important for meeting basic needs. For example, a car can make a big difference if it makes daily life easier.
