Love your explanation of dynamic luxury - individual circumstances can cause products/services to feel like a necessity. So can time. Think about cell phones. In the days of "Pretty Woman" there were about 20 people in the U.S. with phones. Of course they each weighed 5 pounds at the time. . . @Steven – thanks for stopping by.

They are raising my rates because everyone is now calling and saying they heard about some "better deal" out there from the Total Candor blog. Thanks a lot. :) 2) Regarding whether or not satellite radio is a "luxury item," I would argue it is not. Why? Simply put -- anything that keeps an individual (specifically, me) from having road rage shouldn't be labeled a luxury item, but rather a vital necessity. Sometimes I laugh so hard with the radio show I listen to on my way to work in the morning (oh, and I catch more of the show on the evening re-play on my way home at night-- no extra charge!), I forget that I'm doing 5 MPH on I-95!
