Needs and wants are distinct categories when it comes to spending While wants give one pleasure needs stake care of life.

Are you more into wants or needs? What did you buy recently that was a want?

[kataomoi]

I'm frugal and I'm a saver. I only spend money on needs, not wants. My most recent "want" purchase is my MacBook Air. I got it to replace my 10 year old Windows laptop (which works, but is slow and Windows 10 is no longer supported). Using my MacBook Air, I've earned enough online income to cover the cost of the laptop.

So my MacBook Air was more like an investment

I envy you for evidently having multiple lucrative opportunities for earning.

Life can be pretty boring if we do not satisfy our wants occasionally

[kataomoi]

Nothing wrong with a boring and peaceful life.

Depends on individuals I suppose. To each their own . I do want my life to be colourful and satisfying an occasional want is what I believe in .

I'm actually very frugal, but i would most definitely splurge on stuffs that saves time and makes life less annoying. In terms of needs and want, I do both. I take care of my needs first. I usually create a scale of preference that I plan with and after that, if I have a few extra cash, I buy some other items that I like even though they aren't pressing needs.

[bestwriter]

You are balancing both needs and wants well.

I spend more on wants. Lately is travel. Latest trip was Prague and Bratislava.

I get the feeling your wants will soon turn into needs
