It is peculiar that we seem to classify lots of luxuries as "needs" when in fact we are able to survive without those "needs". Want some examples? Coffee at Starbucks, new car, laptop with windows 7, iPod...
When we see something we WANT, we often justify it with some reasons, such as, my productivity will increase with new computer, I NEED to listen to music... Worse, repetitive enforcement of these NEEDS actually make us believe we NEED these luxuries.
Time to reclassify NEED and WANT.
