You really have got to look at the wants and then prioritize them. I am with Steve on a nice new car. Would I like one? Yes. Is it that big of a deal for me? No. It is a want and if I had an endless supply of money or felt very financially secure, then I would get a new one. I just have different wants for the financial situation I am in. It is all a trade-off. However, I am not that much of a car guy. Now, I won't pay for the new car, but will pay that much for my golf membersip each month. That is a want that I won't do without. Oh, and as maat55 mentioned about pop; diet coke would be considered a NEED for me. Some people drink coffee, but I take my caffeine cold.
