But aren't we talking about meeting our minimum needs in this, not about
the sum total of our lives? So the 'Rainy Quarter Century' plan need not
exclude the possibility of a great number of other things.
Yes. I have only one plan but it has parts, first the needs and then the
wants. Both parts will no doubt change. Yes, we are first talking about
meeting minimum needs. That is essential and comforting. It occurs to me
that I see some wants as needs. I have watched people who designed their
lives to survive. And they did just that.
