Most of us have experienced it.
We discover something we immediately want to own. It looks perfect, feels exciting, and we begin imagining how much better life will be once it belongs to us.

Discussion Question
Looking back, what purchase taught you the greatest lesson about the difference between wanting something and truly needing it?
Your experience may help someone else make a wiser decision.
