I know where you are coming from; there are many things that I had to forgoe at different times in my life based on whatever "reality" was presented at the time. At the moment, my reality is better in one way (financially) and worse in others (I lost my husband to cancer and have a 5 year old boy to raise on my own).

Your post seems to be implying that the OP is whining. I don't think that is the case; it is someone trying to spell out how the present economic situation has affected his/her purchasing ability. The types of items purchased aren't really the issue. In any event, it certainly didn't appear that he/she was asking for you to sympathise.
