BC: WANTS VS NEEDS .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. The Peak Oil problem led me to think about how to insure for the minimum needs of my family, which led me to a lot of thought and reflection about what a person's minimum needs actually are. If you have lived in a society where you are used to having everything you want and need within reason, you never learn to understand the difference. I have since studied things like voluntary simplicity and affluenza, and have come to the conclusion that what I really want, whether there is economic collapse or not, is freedom from wage slavery and freedom from the piles of crap I have accumulated in my life. Don't waste your life as the custodian of a mountain of stuff. All you really actually need when you think about it is food, water, something to wear, a weatherproof box to sleep in, someplace to get cleaned up, and access to health care when you need it.
