Unnecessary Necessities ?

Do you have a thread started on this DisneySteve? How do you do this? This is very interesting.

Sorry to disappoint but the surveys I'm referring to are for doctors only. They aren't available to the general public.

I'm a good actor. Are they "that looks gross/that doesn't look gross" type questions? If so I could pull it off

It's nice stuff, and those of us that have had it for a long time would be stunned for a bit if we had to do without, but far as I know you can still live comfortably without all of that stuff. There are plenty of seniors around that were never exposed to it and have gotten by fine without these luxuries.

I'll stay off your lawn if you stay off mine? OK?

My TV antenna brings in about 20 channels for free, and you can get by just fine without internet in the house or on your phone if necessary.

Sadly, mine doesn't.

I really enjoy getting out in the boondocks camping or fishing with the kids when they have no cell phone signal or internet. They turn back into people again and start having conversations and doing things.

I'm not on your lawn. Why are you yelling at me to get off yours?

This is just another one of those things ...... everybody has it, so we have to have it.

Yes. Absolutely.

My kids don't each need an iPhone 5s. But I remember being a teenager who's (grand)parents didn't comprehend that the Great Depression had ended 35 years beforehand.

So, while still living within our means, and putting away for the expected and the unexpected, we'll spend some frivolous money on our kids if we gosh darned want to!
