🛍️ Needs vs. Wants

A need is something you must have to be healthy and safe: food, clean water, a home, clothes, medicine, school supplies.

A want is something nice to have but not necessary: a new game, extra sweets, the fanciest sneakers. Wants are not bad — but needs come first.

Every family's list looks a little different, and that is okay. The skill is asking, 'Is this a need or a want?' before spending.
