we all want the maybach in the living room. but do we need it? https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow
Chapter 1: What does it mean to want versus need?
Do you want it or do you need it? I'm in the gym working out when an older gentleman that's a regular approaches me. I say, what up, man? I haven't seen you in a minute. He says, dude, you'll never believe this. He opens up his phone and shows me a photo of a Maybach $50,000 car Rolls Royce and a LaFerrari. Any car guy would immediately have their eyes open and jaw on the floor.
Chapter 2: Why do successful people question material possessions?
This guy had some money, and he was showing it off, and there's nothing wrong with that. But it was an interesting thing of what he said next. He goes, you want to know something about these cars, son? And I say, yeah, you bought them with crypto money? He says, not quite. When I die, I can't take them with me. And that really made me think. Here's this super successful guy.
He just made a couple million dollars off a Hawk Tua coin. And he's telling me, it doesn't matter. It makes you ask the question, do you need it? Do you need it? Brand new iPhone just drops. 16 Pro I can finally record awesome videos on it Sure, but I mean your 11 does the same thing Do you need it?
Chapter 3: How does culture influence our buying decisions?
You see that there's a deal 10 chicken nuggets for $1 you can't pass that up But do you need it truly do you need it Think about our culture Everything has a price. This shirt that I'm wearing that's flailing in the wind, this shirt that I have has a price.
We can do everything that comes. Das Handwerk.
3,000 action stores in Europe and we celebrate with extremely low prices. For example, our super thin washbasin pots, 18 pieces, only 2,99. And our spectrum spray paint for perfect coverage, only 2,33. For even more extremely low prices, visit our stores or check out the app Action. Small prices, great fun.
Chapter 4: What are the real costs of experiences versus material items?
This shirt that I have on has a price. This car over here that's going down the road that's not a Cybertruck somehow in Austin, Texas has a price. The penthouse at the very tippy top of this building has a price. And we're all obsessed with owning things. We want things. We even pay companies to have large warehouses to store the things that we have. Do we even need it?
Do you need the Hoctua coin? No, you probably don't. You can buy Dogecoin and be just fine. Truly. Do you need the brand new Jordan 1s? They look super cool, don't get me wrong, all right? Do you need to take a train ride across the country? Maybe because that's an experience and there's a difference. A material item is awesome. Okay, let's be real. $20 latte sometimes just hits Diffie.
Chapter 5: Why are experiences more valuable than possessions?
Chapter 6: Do we truly need the latest gadgets and trends?
Do you need the Hoctua coin? No, you probably don't. You can buy Dogecoin and be just fine. Truly. Do you need the brand new Jordan 1s? They look super cool, don't get me wrong, all right? Do you need to take a train ride across the country? Maybe because that's an experience and there's a difference. A material item is awesome. Okay, let's be real. $20 latte sometimes just hits Diffie.
But is it really about the $20 latte or is it about the experience of going to a coffee shop and being stood up by your hinge date? That's really what matters. Even this old guy at the gym, as I'm looking at these cars and fanboying, glazing, says, you know what matters more than the LaFerrari in the garage? And I say, what? And he says, experiences. Experiences. You need. Experiences.
Chapter 7: How can experiences shape our lives?
You need them. You need them. you haven't tapped into a job yet you're gonna learn very quickly you need experience to get a job which a lot of us need to survive unless you tapped into Hawk to a coin then all right you're chillin and I can't tell you anything experiences you don't need the nice watch it's cool it's an addition But you need to go out and do things in the world.
Chapter 8: What are the hidden costs of living life fully?
And some of those things cost money. Not everything is free. Going on a road trip is not free. News flash. You gotta pay money. You gotta pay money for gas. You gotta pay money for lodging if you wanna stay somewhere.

You wanna go to Detroit? You can't just hang out in Detroit. You gotta tap into a hotel. You wanna go to Toronto? You gotta tap into a hotel. Or you find someone cool, you stay with them, right? But these things cost money, but they give you experience. And famously, you need experiences in life to live a good life, in my opinion. Now, one can say, My Rolex collection tells me otherwise.
My Beanie Baby collection tells me otherwise. I got 50 Beyblades at the crib just waiting to be sold on eBay. Sure, I mean, cool. Yeah, I guess. But the next time you're thinking about buying something, about copping, you see someone at school has Nike Elite shorts and you think, I need to tap in. I need to wear that. Ask yourself, do you need it? Do you need it? Do you want it or do you need it?
Two different things. And who knows, maybe you do need it. Maybe what you need today is a $20 latte. Maybe that's what you need. Maybe you gotta go to Dutch Bros and sugar bomb your entire nervous system. I don't know, I don't know you the best. You know yourself the best. And sometimes that's what we need. Sometimes all we need is a hug, bro. I be waking up and I just need me a hug from the bros.
Or from my mom. It's okay. But the material possessions, sometimes we don't need them. But, if it helps you stay motivated, I'm not one to tell you not to use it as motivation. Sometimes, That LaFerrari is a dream. It's something you want to chase after. But just know, anyone you talk to that already has those things, they tend to tell you it's mid. Didn't really matter. The thing is cool.
But what was better was the journey to get the thing, the way in which they built a business, the way in which they did X, Y, and Z. It's the chase. That's the one that's enticing. There's things I want that are material. Would I like a new iPhone if someone handed it to me on the street? Yeah, of course. I'd be the first one to unlock it and download Doodle Jump or something.
Or download SoundCloud. Listen to some Sam Gellatry. Tap in. But if I don't need it, is it really that important? I don't know. I'm not one to say. Only you can really make that decision. So don't feel guilty. There are things that you want in your life that are material. And it means something to you. That's what matters.
