Humans can survive without lots of things for sure. I don't see many people selling furniture when times are tough, even though they can sit on the floor... It is a matter of what's important to you. Having a wife who not only tolerates the hobby, but actually
partakes? Damn I know 90% of you are crazy envious of that!
