Can you differentiate the two? I often can, as long as I'm not blinded by my awesome taste in materialistic things! I guess this is what has us swimming in and out of debt. If we can separate our needs from our wants we all would be less stressful. All my life I've surrounded my life with "wants" and always put off my "needs", unfortunately many of you can say the same. I've had the privilege of meeting and making some friends that really understood the difference between the two and fortunately their lives we're simpler with no debt, a savings account, and their whole life ahead of them without the stresses of having to worry about paying bills! The main reason for this blog for today is that I just recently received an email from "Coarsetoys" announcing a new art piece release "False Friends" will be dropping very soon. Unfortunately this will set me back quite a bit on paying off my bills. I know this is a want and not a need but here's my situation, I can try to get my hands on another amazing piece of art (retail $650 < resale $1500) to add to my collection and if I decide to sell it later I can always profit from it? or shall I hold all my wants back and concentrate on my needs? I think I already have my decision made but, let me know what your thoughts are...
p.s. Yes, this will make me very happy Randy
Just so you know...I never see you sell something you want, so reasoning like that is pointless. If you want it you want it. Some dumb bird told me once its not always about what you want. F that, for me it is. If i didn't get it than i really didn't want it, and if I want it...I'm for sure not selling it.
ReplyDeleteI agree and I honestly rarely ever sell anything I have/own. I try to reason for the sake of sanity but it often leads to insanity because of the decisions I make. FML!!! (not really, my life is pretty awesome!)
