<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

It's amazing how easily wants turn into needs when there is money in the budget.  For example, we "needed" about $1500 worth of repairs on the car, but because we had the cash, we suddenly "needed" a new-used car which ultimately cost about $12k.  We didn't need a new car before ours broke, we just wanted one and we had talked about wanting it (but not being able to afford it).  That is an example, there are many more, but the simple version is when we have money we suddenly "need" more, and when we don't have money, it's easy to say no because we just "want" something.  Thoughts?
<bot>: When you are broke, you want a lot of stuff that you don't get.  When you have cash, the wants are suddenly justified as needs.
