Necessities of Life are Changing

I recently read an article on the National Association of Realtors that I thought I'd share with you. I'd love to know what you think!

A survey was done by MainStay Investments with 1,049 consumers aged 45 to 65 asking what they considered to be basic needs. The answers were not just food, shelter, and clothing. Now those basic needs include an internet connection, pet care, and travel.

Some other responses include the following: - Weekend getaways, 46%
- Professional hair color/cut, 43% - Children, grand-children's education, 42% - Dining out, 38% - Domestic travel, 35% - Ordering takeout, 34% - Movies, 30%

What's on your basic needs list?
