💡 Wants vs Needs💡
💡 What are Needs?
Needs = things we must have to live and be healthy.
👉 Without them, life is hard.
Examples:
-
🥪 Food & Water
-
🏠 Shelter (house)
-
👕 Clothes
-
💊 Medicine
💡 What are Wants?
Wants = things that are nice to have, but we can live without them.
👉 They make us happy, but they are not must-haves.
Examples:
-
🎮 Video games
-
🍫 Candy
-
🧸 Toys
-
🎉 Fancy gadgets
🎯 Easy Trick to Remember
-
If you need it to live 👉 it’s a NEED 🥦👟.
-
If it’s for fun or extra 👉 it’s a WANT 🎧🍕.
🪙 Example with Money
You have $5 💵:
-
You must buy water 💧 ($2) → Need
-
You also want ice cream 🍦 ($3) → Want
If you only have $2, you should pick the Need first ✅, because you can’t live without water.
🏰 Fun Way to Think
Needs are like the castle walls 🏰 (they protect you).
Wants are like the fireworks 🎆 (they make life fun, but you don’t need them every day).
👉 So, Needs = must-have 🔑 and Wants = nice-to-have 🎁.
