Good evening everyone...I hope we all are good ?.. This post is going to be about some things I found occurring in society and I'll like to address them. People are not able to differentiate between want and need which are the basic requirements of life.... and also how both affect our everyday life...
want and need are two similar words but with a slight difference.
Want our desires we like to have but do not need..while needs, on the other hand, are things we must have in others to survive.
Want is insatiable...want can never be satisfied we will always want more no matter how many times we purchase them but then do we need them...?? are they really important at that very moment? can we forgo it at that very moment?
we can always live without wanting it all just about discipline...need on the other hand is important to live through the day.
As human beings, both requirements are needed to get through but at different times.
Want and need apply to all aspects of our lives. In our financial aspects, they are those things we crave but not necessary at the moment. can they be forgone? are we focused on want over need? these are questions we need to answer in other to balance our financial life. Want will keep coming and many wants may seem like a need but up to us to detect the need amongst them.
As human beings, we must be able to differentiate between want and need to have a decent lifestyle else waste will be rampant.
In other to avoid waste over want we need to appreciate what we have. It is important to know right from wrong likewise detecting want from need will help save more. for example, having a smartphone might be a need but updating to iPhone 13 might be a want that is not necessary. Needs vary, an iPhone 13 might be a wants for an average citizen but a need to a millionaire so we don't get to compare our needs with others..our wants might be other people's needs.
We do not really need to cut off all our wants because they make life fun but just need to prioritize them making priority will help differentiate between want and need.
