So…How Long? And Be Honest. (You Want Honest, Too?)

A really thought provoking and soul searching question posed by CardRatings.com. They asked how long do you think you get by without certain things. Are the results surprising? You decide.

• Beer?  28% of men and 13% of women couldn't go a week without a beer. No big deal, right?
• What about pizza?  31% of men and 24% of women couldn't go a week without pizza. Again, speaking for me, no big whoop.
• Then there's chocolate?  36% of men and 45% of women couldn't go a week without chocolate. Again, for me, no big whoop.
• Credit cards?  48% of men and 39% of women couldn't go a week without using their credit card. Well that's a matter of convenience. I use mine to pay for darn near everything, but...I could go to the bank and get some cash. Just staying.
• Sex?  Now, it's getting interesting. 54% of men and 40% of women couldn't go a week without sex.  Did you notice that more women would have trouble giving up chocolate than sex. Ouch.
• And there's Facebook?  41% of men and 57% of women couldn't go a week without Facebook. I use social media mostly for work, but I could go a week. Might be a little rough, but it's like a diet.
• TV?  69% of men and 68% of women couldn't go a week without TV. Well, read ahead and you run into a problem.
• Cell phone?  77% of men and 81% of women couldn't go a week without a phone. I'd be okay without the phone portion, but folks do need to get a hold of me, so this one's tough.
• Computers and tablets?  79% of men and 87% of women couldn't go a week without their computer or iPad . . . making it number one for both genders. What is there to say? I'd go nuts. We're so in need of some sort of mental stimulaton that I kind of need, yes, need, either a computer or a TV. And at this point, I'd prefer a computer or smart phone, as there really is nothing on TV except for sports.
