Sometimes, I spend money on things beyond my financial budget, and sometimes I just charged it, whether I had the money to pay for it or not. (I am lucky, though, because I have never had expensive tastes. I shudder to think where I would be if I did.) Never has a purchase made me a happier person, and sometimes after the newness has worn off, I even felt a great sense of regret that I purchased something that I did not use nearly as much as I thought I would.

In this case, the products of food take the role of functioning and satisfying the need. However, things are much more complicated in most cases and usually people make purchasing decisions for more than particular…
I’m led to think of my younger sister when considering the subject of motivation. As with many young teenagers, she’s unashamed that her desire to help someone is most always triggered by what her own personal gain will be. However, her need to achieve being led by her desire to be accepted is reasonably normal according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
