What are some materialistic products you thought you could never live without and now do?
For me, I have not owned a microwave in 3 years. One day had a nasty thunderstorm, breakers tripped, microwave got fried. Didn't have time to get another and started using the oven. Plan was to go to walmart and get a new one. One week goes by, then one month, then one year. I don't find the oven inconvient and it's one less appliance to clean or worry about now.
How about everyone else ?
Cable/satellite TV.
I've been in my new place almost a year, i always meant to hook it up, but never did. Netflix, hulu, etc had kept me going for far less money than I was paying before.
Best,
C-
My phone
does a good pit or AmStaff count? I gotta have my dog.
marijuana and peach crystal light
thats all i need in life to survive.
dude, that shits gonna kill you. crystal light has way too much ace KQuote:

ah those BAI things (stevia sweetened) if you shop smart you can get them 1.50 each.
I find them,at dollar store once in a blue moon for $1 and buy them all.

Cable here is 185$ with Internet, one or two ufc’s And its 300$ Insane.Quote:

Yeah OTA is pretty legit. Especially if you have an OTA DVR.Quote:

That's awesome. I could live without the running water, phones, and internet...... But not having an electric coffee maker with fresh ground beans..... That's not a life i want. Otherwise it sounds perfect!Quote:

Baby wipes to freshen up the needed crevices every night.One day I went to the creek stripped down with my bar of soap and took a bath a very quick bath it at least to say was very cold and refreshing.
Starting a company! Not the reason I came here. My wife is a scientist and her job decides to a large extent where we live. Trying to get out of this place now but that process will take a couple of years.Quote:
