People, pets, etc. aside... strictly material... what are the most important things in your life? The things that you need. Your phone, internet service, having a working shower, money, having a house, etc. Feel free to list as many as you would like! What would be the easiest to give up if you had to? What would be the most difficult?

I pretty much need Internet nowadays. I also kind of need TV because its entertaining, and a house, well I need a place to live. When it comes to pets I kinda need one because they keep you company and ive kept pets for so long I cant imagine my life without some kind of pet. If I had to give up something, Id probably give up Internet and just use it at wi-fi hotspots. The most difficult would be to give up my pets or my house. Giving up either would be a last resort.

My computer and internet, it's where I can really unwind and speak my mind or rant about my crappy day. It would be crap without that, I'd be a really different person without it. I really like my bath as well. I always want to be clean, and I like relaxing; bath = perfection. I really need my beer as well, I just get cranky if I don't have it for my evenings; helps me to unwind a bit as well as internet. What can I give up? Most things apart from those really. I don't think I really use much else very often tbh.

I need my phone. I can't even live without it, and also the internet >o<; And also my computer, and money, and taking a shower before I go to sleep and my house and my tablet cause it's so awesome, and also books. I don't read books, but sometimes I flick through it to see if money magically appeared because it always happens.

Laptop/Internet and all my files on it, including music, anime episodes and my vast collection of Leaf fanart.

My anime DVDs, manga, and anime figurines.

My collection of hotel directories and brochures

My DS Lite and games

My wallet which contains money and other goodies.

My allergy medication

Junk food :)

The computer is pretty much the most important out of everything because my entire life is pretty much on it. While I don't want to give up the others, I could if I was ever forced to. Oh, that medication is pretty important too, lol

If I have a computer with an internet connection, I'm fine... for the most part. Other things are nice to have - TV, phone, watch etc. - but without internet and a device to browse said internet, I have a tendency to go a teensy bit crazy. Kinda like this (only replace beer and TV with internet) :

Having our septic tank broken for three or four years has taught me that I DON'T need a long warm shower! :D But that's off topic...

What I do tend to need is internet access. When my pastor helped me figure out how to set up the wireless network, I was like "YESSSSSS I CAN FINALLY USE INTERNET AT THE CHURCH OMG YES" xD I am addicted and I admit it, lol.

Having a house is kinda nice as well, lol, as is a dishwasher, and a bed, etc.

If I had to give any of them up, I would give up the JUST the longish (~7-9 minute) showers. I made do with them for so long, I am perfectly fine with them. No dishwasher? OMG FML. xD
Really the only thing that truly comes in handy and I enjoy is my phone. It has internet and all the apps I need to connect with anyone in real life or online. I'd say the computer/internet too, but really I only go online for one reason otherwise I would be fine without it. Only other things that come to mind are a shower and a bed. I love to be clean and I love something comfy to sleep on. If I'm clean and I'm comfortable then my mood is already going to be so much better.

Besides those few things I can see myself giving up lots. I really try not to be dependent on anything just because I feel like when someone gets too dependent on something they let it take over them and I always want to be in control of me.

I need nothing but sufficient food, water, and medication. If I had to, I would be able to give up anything else. It'd be a bit awkward if I were to give up both my internet connection or my phone but I could live without one of the other. Both, however, would present an issue since it'd be hard to contact people at all and I can't really live without proper contact with people.

I fall into depression which is sad as I hate smiling.
Wait, what? Depression is sad but so is smiling? I don't get it.
