No, you don't NEED a $1000+ iPhone, Androids that cost a fifth of that are perfectly capable and will serve 99% of people's needs satisfactorily. So you won't have blue text message bubbles. Get over it.

No, you don't NEED a fucking luxury car. I don't care if you think you "deserved" it or whatever. If you're driving something that expensive, it necessarily affects how others react to you (giving you more berth cause they don't wanna be on the hook for insurance, for instance). Drive a fucking Corolla like the rest of us and enjoy the now-standard AC, power windows, etc. Get over it.

And frankly, and this goes for me as well, you don't NEED to eat meat for every fucking meal, or every day, or honestly almost ever. Yeah burgers are tasty and it's gonna suck giving them up. Get over it.
