I live in beautiful New Zealand, where we are fortunate to have a good Social Welfare system. Living on a benefit is not all the envious reckon: I'd much rather be living on my own investments.

Needs

May 3rd, 2008 at 09:20 pm

I'm still around and full of good intentions, but hit a glitch with the computer this week. I am in the process of drawing up a list of needs - needs, not wants - to be purchased out of my first paypacket. So far I have listed:

1. mouse
2. socks
3. get defective light switch in dining room fixed.

Of course the list of wants is endless, from a 3mm circular needle to a laptop. I shall start a second list titled thneeds - "a thneed is a thing that everyone needs."

I was thinking about drawing up a list of wants, being that I just spent $250 on a handbag and did not have the money and now I have to return. I figure I make my list, save for the item and cross off as I go

I have thought about making a list of wants too. . . it can be really easy to fall to temptation without a good strategy.

I have both of those lists - I prioritize them and when I think of something else to be added, I re-prioritize!

Sorry about your glitch!
