I've said it before, possibly even in this thread, and I'll say it again. There is nothing at all wrong with having wants as long as you can afford them.
I posted yesterday about my new hard drive. That was a want. I didn't need it. I could have lived just fine without it, as I have for the past 5 years.
Most clothes that we all buy are wants as we all have closets and dressers filled with clothes already.
Going out to eat is almost always a want. Vacations are wants. Seeing a movie, even renting a DVD, is a want.
As long as you can afford what you are buying, not carry CC debt, pay your bills in full each month and save adequately for the future, enjoy your wants.
