Can that be quantified? Most of us choose a car payment that is somewhere in the vicinity of $300 a month, we choose this because we perceive a car to be an indispensable part of how we want to live our lives.

I find it astonishing that people I know will spend large amounts of money on items like clothing or expensive cars or simply being part of the disposable society. For example, throwing away perfectly good furniture to replace it with a newer version. One person I know needed a new washer and disposed of her dryer because she insisted they had to match. The same person fights with her insurance company for trivial medications sometimes other times expensive ones but suffers without these that could possibly have a tremendous effect on her quality of life. People don't seem to understand that things do not improve the quality of ones life most especially if depressed when you cannot enjoy or appreciate them. Quality or quantity. Most in this country no matter what the content will opt for quantity. They are used to things being disposable so buy cheap and often. Unfortunately life is not a disposable commodity!
