You have to live a little in life! Or what's the point of living???
I know I could be more frugal but I like cable. I like having steak, I like eating fish. Darn it, sure I could live again on $25/week for groceries but do I really want to?
Food is a need, but what I eat is a WANT. I do not need organic food or leaner cuts of meat. Actually I don't NEED meat at all, but I like it.
I need a place to live. But I want to own my home, but I only NEED to rent. DH and I could rent a room in a house if they allowed us, that would cover our need, but we want more space.
I need a car to get to work. I want the nice car I drive, but I could drive a complete beater that runs.
As long as you realize that wants and needs are different. There is nothing wrong with wants.
