I never really needed anything growing up, but I never had the latest and greatest stuff. I didn't really mind it and I have felt the same as an adult. Sure, there are things I would like, but I usually talk myself out of them. I've never owned a brand new vehicle and I am not sure if I ever will. Our travel trailer is probably the only new vehicle I have ever purchased. I think these are good things to live by. I hope as my time frees up in the future i can devote ore of it to exercise.
