has this ever happened to y0u?

I really feel as if I can't live without these things either. I live in a very rural area and it's actually cheaper for me to have a cellular phone than it is for me to have a landline phone. I use both my phone and internet connections for communicating with my family, arranging transportation (I can't walk long distances unassisted and have no car), and for earning extra spending money. If you're spending alot of money on such things, is it necessary to purchase an expensive model or a brand new on. Being a Christian has nothing to do with protecting your fiancial and material property. Not loaning/sharing isn't necessarily self either, as some people DO take advantage of those who would be nice enough to share. There is a difference between practicality, bare necessity, necessities that aren't 100% needed (I cant find a better way to word that sorry.. I mean such as a television OR a radio, a phone that has service to at least dial 9-1-1. Where I live, that last bit is important because there are NO payphones in the town and most neighbors won't allow you to borrow or give a ride to the hospital or police station without making you pay them. There's also a HUGE difference between working for years and buying nice things for yourself, and later coming down on your luck and asking for help, compared to being someone who always begs for things from others, that never keeps a job when they do get one, and rarely looks for one when they don't have one. Are you perhaps just being hard on yourself?

At first, I really don't understand your message, I was a little confused. Later, you actually talking about you couldn't let go of your computer and cell phone, because you can't do without them in your daily life. Well, it is part of choice. Personal preference. People prefer to attach to computer and cell phone everyday. For me, I would say the same thing. They are absolutely really important to me too.
