　　Many of us in developed societies is trapped in a spending circle.We work hard so that we can earn more money.When we have more money，we spend more and because we spend more，we have to work even hard.But strange enough，the more money we earn，the less often we see it. Instead，we start putting our signatures on credit cards and spend money we don't even have it.Beside，we're all taxpayers so the more we earn the more tax we have to pay to those that govern us.Thus，the circle goes round and round and gets more and more complicated.

　　In this spending circle，on the one hand，we accumulate possessions but never feel like we have enough.On the other hand，we work towards the ownership of bigger and better houses and cars and never have time to enjoy it.Instead，they feel like a burden because every month we have to hand over most of the money we earn to pay them.And the result of all this is obviously.Not increased happiness，but stress and less free time to be ourselves and enjoy being with our friends and families.
