The only thing I have ever WANTED was a new washing machine when my old one broke down. I have always been a minimalist, I only have a TV for the sake of the kids, I have no mobile phone, well I lie, I have one in the wardrobe and it has not seen day light for over 2 years. I do so yearn for a holiday but not because my neighbour or family want one, I need some ME time, I am forgetting who I am lately. The only thing humans NEED are food, water,air and in my books clothes!... maybe a roof over our heads as in a house or tent or what ever.
I am rather attached to my lap top though and if that breaks down I will get the shakes if I can't use it
