Your closet in the new economy | necessity, luxury, economy - The Orange County Register: "Pew Research recently released results of a poll that asked Americans what is considered a necessity or luxury in the new economy. Surprisenly, cell phones have hung on as a necessity, but microwaves have leaped over to the luxury category.
Vegetable gardening is up - necessity, flat screen TVs - luxury. Discount shopping is a necessity, while brand names are now clearly a luxury.
