I’ve done a lot of thinking about my need-wants, so I’m posting my list now. I know that some of the terms I use are a little bit vague (“occasional”), but I’m just trying to make the point that some of the items on the list I don’t do all the time, but I need-want them from time to time – and some I need-want more frequently than others. At any rate, my need-wants are:
– High quality food (about half the food I buy is organic)
– An Alexandria address
– Occasional mani/pedis
– A constant supply of books, magazines, and newspapers (I currently have 4 magazine subscriptions)
– Additional gas money to go visit friends and family
– Occasional meals out
– Occasional premium coffee drinks – this is less occasional than my other occasional need-wants
I didn’t get any responses when I asked before, but I’m really curious – what are your need-wants? It’s interesting to think about, because it forces you to decide which indulgences you would really suffer from living without…
P.S. – $1800 payment on my personal loan yesterday – sooo close!!!!
