I’m doing a small test. For two weeks I am trying, diligently, to spend money on what I need instead of what I want, and what I am finding is that, gosh, there are a lot of “wants” in my life. Coffee out (when I have everything I need to make a very good cup at home), food out (when my kitchen is well stocked), makeup and creams (when I really have plenty at the moment), running pants (though I have a couple of perfectly good pairs), a new book, a bag of chocolate, flannel sheets, and etc.\. The list goes on and on and on ad nauseum.
Thinking thinking thinking…is there really anything I “need” at the moment or is it mostly things I “want?” At least as far as the material life goes. And you?

Funny. I have decided to do the same thing this week. My "needs" are kleenex tissues and kitty litter. My "wants" require a much longer (and more interesting)list. Not buying the "wants" requires a lot of strength, I think.
