As human beings we are never ever satisfied in our life.   If we have hundreds of rupees, we aspire for thousands, then to lakhs and then to crores.  Even after getting crores of rupees one thing is for sure we will never ever be happy or satisfied.

While it is always important to try our best to make improvements in all sphere of activities in our life, a person should be reasonably content and satisfied if he has 4 things which he or she requires the most

Owning a House:- These days especially in cities, it is very difficult to pay rent or lease for a house.  The hike in rates for rent for alarming.  While the salaries do increase periodically, rents increase more faster and in higher proportion.  Therefore it becomes very important to own a house,  however small or inconvenient it may be.

Clothing:- It is important to be well clothed and have sufficient number of clothes.  It is not necessary to have expensive clothes or a huge collection, but a reasonable collection of them (not torn or damaged) is a must.

Food:- One should have enough money to buy healthy food.  No compromise should be made in this regard

Medicines:- With deterioration in environmental conditions, sickness has become a part and parcel of daily life and threfore medicines too though nobody likes it is a part of our lives.

If we can afford to have a house, clothing, food & medicines in today's world we can feel reasonably satisfied with ourselves.  Anything over this we can try without pushing ourselves too hard.
