How to use "Non-essential" in context?
There is no one answer to the question of what constitutes an "essential" living necessity. What may be necessary for one person may be considered Non-essential by another. In general, however, most people would agree that food, shelter, and clothing are essential needs. The question of what constitutes a "non-essential" need is more contentious.
Some people consider transportation to be a non-essential need, since it can be easily replaced with a bicycle or walking. Others believe that a reliable means of transportation is essential for getting around and avoiding inclement weather.
