Imagine a bustling market square filled with vibrant stalls, each one tempting you with various goods and services. As you walk through, you see an array of items: shiny new gadgets, delicious treats, and stylish clothing. You smile, feeling excitement at the prospect of what you might find.
Then, a thought strikes you: "How do I decide what to buy? What do I want, and what do I really need?"
At this intersection of desires and necessities, we find ourselves facing an important question: **What do we genuinely need, and what are merely our wants? Today, we're going to explore the fascinating world of wants and needs in relation to money. I want you to think about your own shopping experiences. When have you had to make tough choices about spending? Have you ever regretted a purchase you deemed necessary at the time? Share your thoughts!
Now, I’d like each of you to take out a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. On one side, write down "Wants" and on the other side, "Needs."
Take a few moments to jot down as many items as you can think of in each category. Once you're done, we’ll have a group discussion to compare our lists and see how our perspectives on wants and needs might differ.
Through this exercise, we will gradually uncover how understanding our wants and needs can help us manage our finances better and make more informed choices. So, let’s gear up for a thought-provoking journey into the labyrinth of our desires and necessities within the context of money!
As we continue, we will learn how to prioritise our spending based on distinguishing between wants and needs. Let's find out how significant this distinction is for our financial well-being!
