MODERATORS
I think i have roughly three categories for this.
Needs: i need food/ my meds/ a train ticket to get to work
Wants: stuff that i want for me beyond the needs, e.g. hobby stuff like a tripod if one is into photography or dinner in a nice restaurant from time to time
Desires: stuff thats purely for pleasure. Like candy, or a new phone if the old one is still working or very expensive hobby related material, like that carbon tripod with all the bells and whistles, or material i allready own plenty of, like video games.
Asking myself if something is still a want vs a desire stopped some impulse buys, but this desires very very tempting
