Are we LIVING???

Hi folks,
Its a bitter truth that we are just living only 25 percent for us and remaining for this society.
Which makes more worse and worse day by day.
An example which i expirenced today,
One of my friend who is a software engg.is living with his wife in a metro city.
He is living in a rented house and the rent is 20k plus maintance.
In his home it was filled with all gadgets and appliences, which is not used mostly by them.
Because her wife was working for a school. So they get hard time to be in home.
Their workplace is around 20 km from their home.
But their are spending almost 45k per month just for home and travel, were its just a useless and just for the SOCIETY. Which means people around them will visit once in 3 months or 6 months,so they are spending this much things just to show off.
Do these really needed.
