Scary stats! = http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29641109

I'm so wary when I feel, "oh I need a nice flash car, or a bigger house," because in reality I have far more than I really need! And the vaste majority of the world's population have far less.

It's so easy to simply just want more and more, when in reality it's a never ending spiral.
