mortgage - i pay for a 1 bedroom apartment. if i got a 3 bedroom, i'd be barely scraping by. of course it would be nice to have 2 more bedrooms. do i NEED it? no.
food - totally flexible. look at what you buy and how you prepare your meals. do you buy lunch everyday? how often do you go out for dinner? do you look for specials at the grocery store? do you use coupons? buy in bulk? end up throwing away leftovers?
bills - do you NEED a $80 cell phone bill? do you NEED a smartphone so you can browse the internet and play games when you're waiting in line for something? do you NEED all the fancy channels you get with a $100 cable package?
other examples (my friend, lol)
- do you NEED to drive to work everyday and pay $20 for parking? i think it takes her 20 minute to drive to work. taking the bus takes her about 35 minutes. sure, it's almost double the amount of time, but half an hour isn't very long.
- do you NEED to buy another new shirt/sweater/dress/jeans/shoes/purse??
seriously that saying...a penny saved is a penny earned... it's so true.
what's the point if you find a guy/girl who makes $100K if they waste it on unnecessary things?
