You will find ways to do without furnature in the house. End tables really aren't a must. They are there for show and therefore can be removed. Besides, who really needs lamps or a place to set their drinks. They shouldn't be drinking in the living room anyways. TV's rot the brain, they should also be removed. Don't you remember the fun and ease of Bean Bag chairs? They can be brought into the living room when you want to sit down, but removed when company comes over. This way the couch and all chairs/sofas can be removed. But really, what would you need chairs for if there is not a tv? Kitchen tables? blah! Eat on the floor or in your bean bag chair. Another good alternative is at the kitchen counter. You'll lose weight with this alternative because who wants to stand at the kitchen counter for a long time to eat. You can sell your furnature to finance the new tank! Problem solved
