Dipesh Lalwani 10/10/2019 7:34 AMThe idea to buy what you need versus what you want is rooted in a fundamental fact which is very appealing to me. The fulfillment of a want potentially evokes a certain feeling. The fact is that all feelings arise from within hence if one can master the art of evoking those feelings without any external stimulants such as wants; one can become free of wants.
