Luckily I don't want a car. I may have to get one in a couple years if I have a baby, but I'm not looking forward to it and may do some research on blogs, etc., to see if it's doable to be a carless parent in my city.
My nonfrugal wants are to travel, to dine out and to buy stylish clothes. I'm going to try and swing two trips per year for me and my family and hope that keeps the travel bug at bay. I dine out about once a month using pocket money and that seems to keep that part of me satisfied (just barely). And I do an Old Navy/Target/H&M trip about twice a year to get a couple hundred dollars' worth of clothes.
My frugal wants are much more important to me these days, so they get much more money and attention than my nonfrugal ones! First one: getting rid of credit card debt and thereby increasing net worth.
