Acharya Prashant addresses the modern obsession with ostentatious displays of wealth on social media, such as luxury cars, expensive vacations, and business class travel. He explains that consumption cannot provide the peace or satisfaction one seeks; rather, fulfillment comes from living a right life and engaging in meaningful work. He advises that one should only acquire resources—whether a mobile phone, a car, or a business class ticket—when they are genuinely necessary for one's work and when their absence becomes a bottleneck. He emphasizes that simplicity and frugality are not about spending less, but about spending correctly for a purposeful cause. He warns against the trap of seeking luxury for sensual gratification or ego-driven show-off, noting that true dignity lies in self-reliance rather than living off others' wealth.
