Yes they think they need games, but they don't play the ones they have. Thankfully, they have learned to take joy in having those things they need. They will get a few more items and we are planning to get away after the holidays and the busy work schedule. Just quality family time and good food.
When we were involved with Operation Threshold I was going back to school and basically living off assistance. My worker warned me about those predatory loan places and I let her know that I don't go to them. I'm not a big fan on credit. She was surprised, she said that I had nice things compared to some of her clients. The difference is, I pay cash for what I have. I also only buy what I love or need. I don't smoke and rarely drink. I try to prioritize my wants. I often fall short, but I must be succeeding more than not. Now if I could only pay off my debt and clean up my credit, because there is one type of loan I believe in, a mortgage.
