I've just been making a list of all the things I don't need and it is a long one. Over the years I've slowly gotten used to doing without more and more items. Some of the things I did without in the past I have come back to but most I have not. It is easy to live cheaply when your list of needs is very short and your List of non-needs is long. :-) For some reason I have been blessed to need/want very little. Not only is that a cheaper way to live but it is very liberating because you're not surrounded by stuff.
NON-NEEDS
Coffee/tea/alcohol
tobacco (pipes, cigarettes, e-cig, chew)
After shave,
Meds (i'm currently off all of them)
Vitamins (eat right and don't use them)
Toothpaste (experimenting doing w/o)
Car (nearly)
New clothes (nearly)
Meats (chicken, beef, pork, etc.)
Dairy (cheese, milk, ice cream, yogurt)
Candy/chocolates (causes mood drop)
Donuts/pastries
Processed foods
Soda pop (gave it up 35 years ago)
Bottled water (I trust tap water)
