What do you really need?
I was somewhat depressed about the economy today and started thinking about what a person really needs. My answer was food, clothing, shelter and
companionship.
There are tons of things that most of us take for granted that we have but don’t really need.
I have many cars but could get by with one for the emergency trip to visit relatives.
I have lots of toys… Cameras, binoculars,, electronic gadgets etc. I don’t really need any of them. I like to have some of my toys but I don’t
need them.
Add to that list of toys that I have cell phones, cable tv, high speed internet access etc. I like these things but I don’t really need them.
Then, I started to look at things that I purchase on a regular basis. What do I need in terms of supplies vs what things do I use that I don’t
really need. So, there are tons of things that I buy that I don’t need. Bottled water, soda, the occasional expresso, body wash new clothes, shoes
etc.
I have enough things that I could go quite a while without making purchases other than food.
So my question for all you ATSers is what do you really need?
