Good list. I agree that one of the biggest issues in our society is differentiating between wants and needs. I wrote an article that talked about just that last week. I even have a hard time convincing my wife that half of what she “needs” are really “wants”.

@ Toblerone: Thanks for visiting!

@ Gerri: Your exactly right, sometimes seeing what others are doing is the best example. We can’t see the forest for the trees with our own situations.

Great list! It can be a lot easier to see in others than yourselves sometimes though. I keep saying my daughter is my best teacher. When I observe how she goes from really wanting one thing to another, it’s easier for me to acknowledge how I fall into that same trap.

@ Ryan: Such a rule breaker! Heh, I used to as well but I have come a long way. I am interested in reading about your entrepreneurism…not sure if thats a word or not.

@ Vered: I feel like I am redefining it daily on an instance by instance basis. A 2 week hold on purchases helps though.

“Your definition of want is very similar to your definition of need.” This is a HUGE one. It took me years to learn to view these as two separate lists.

haha I break a few of these rules but I am getting better. I am a struggling entrepreneur who is learning as much as he can about money and sharing it with the world.
Actually I pretty much break all the rules
