1. Car – Yes
2. Landline phone – No
3. Clothes Dryer – No (We don’t have one)
4. Home air conditioning – No (Again, don’t have one)
5. TV set – Yes (I watch DVD’s, don’t need cable)
6. Home Computer – Yes
7. Cell Phone – Yes (Don’t need the land line)
8. Microwave – No (But I have one so why not keep it, it’s very handy)
9. High Speed Internet – Yes (I work from home)
10. Cable/Satellite TV – No
11. Dishwasher – No (again, I have an old one so I’ll keep it but not replace it)
12. Flat Screen TV – No
13. iPod – No

I’d have to say that the most important items besides a home are the car (just a run around) and the cell phone, I have a simple prepaid Tracfone which doesn’t cost more than $15 per month and it gives me security and the ability to do business from anywhere. I can make long distance and international calls for the same price as a local call which is why it is more important than the land line; the reception is also great.
