    It's times like these that we really need to save our penny's. lots of uncertainty..lots of scary and hairy stuff out there. We all get asked " why do you need this or that"? ... And to that maybe it's true...maybe it's true....but you know what? This is Effing America! This world is jacked up enough...I am going to get what I damn well don't need because I can and so should you...not because you really need it, but because you want it with every fiber of your soul! ....

    I go first, Gerber LHR.

    Video games.....though I don't buy them often, but I do buy them at full price...

    I think in 2012 I bought two games at full price and one imported at twice the price...

    Three games ain't too bad right!?

    It's not really a "need" purchase but I ordered a new phone on Friday. My current one is a T-Mobile G2X. I've rooted it before and it ran better but it's community for the most part has moved on and there's very little ICS and Jellybean updates coming out. Instead the versions are stripped without hardware acceleration. So I don't really get to the most out my phone. Couple that with the fact that the screen is cracked and it freezes a lot and I got a Nexus 4 instead.

    I'm done with phone contracts especially since I might be moving to Australia this year and wanted a phone that was unlocked. I guess I "need" a new phone, but I could just order a new screen myself and replace it for a lot cheaper. I'd eventually need to get an unlocked phone for Australia. I dunno. I don't think the latest and greatest in phone technology is really a "need." Does it let me text? Can I take phone calls? Is the GPS on it decent enough? Is web browsing sufficient? If my G2X was more that on stock ROM then I'd probably tough it out but the software on the phone sucks. Not really a "need" but I guess it is.

    Sex enhancement pills they sell at the register of a gas station.

    It was a couple years ago. I knew I was going to get action that night. So I figured why not. A couple hours later I was throwing up like crazy and of course ended up not getting any action.

    I used to buy a bunch of guitar pedals I probably didn't even need. Sold them last year and realized I didn't need most of them.

    Bose noise-cancelling headphones.

    Turns out they don't tune out screaming babies.

    Nice headphones though.
