Need vs Want

[Guest]

When DH and me moved into our house last year we had a

built in dishwasher. We had one in our apartment as

well. I grew up in the 70’s where my parents could

not afford a dishwasher and so I got used to not

having. I rarely use a dishwasher. Only when we have

a holiday family gathering and even then, I rather use

my hands. We have basic cable too. I don’t watch as

much t.v. as I used to. Its not because we cannot

afford it, it’s simply that my needs have changed as I

have gotten older. I think sometimes when we have too

much choice, people want more. I just limit my

choices and then I find I do better with less.
