Do I need a firewall?

My current situation is:

-about 50 users accessing the internet and e-mail.
-A T1 connection with the router configured with NAT.
-No WAN or web servers.
-The only outside connection is Terminal services.

It was suggested that I purchase a firewall (hardware) for seurity reasons, is this necessary. Is NAT not secure enough?

Considering my paranoid nature and the minimal cost it may make sense! Or not?

Thanks in advance
