Wants or Needs?

Is having the latest technology a want or a need?

How often do you get a new cel phone or mp3 player? Did you really need a new model? Do you consider the environmental impact of these purchases? If you are addicted, how can you break your addiction?

Wants or Needs

Music25

Hi everyone, my name is Lexi. I have recently done an experiment and it has come to my attention that my wants and needs are two very different things. I was told that every time the newest iPhone comes out I don't need it or I don't need a new pair of converse every month. What I do need though is to go to the grocery store once a month, especially with 5 people living in the house. I have to tell myself every now and then that my phone is just fine and I don't need the new one, even when my friends wont be quite about it. Not only would I be saving money by not getting the new phone but I will also be helping the environment be a better place.

Hi Lexi! I'm glad you realized that you don't need new things every month. I am also a person who likes new shiney things but instead of buying new converse you can jazz them up, upcycle, dare I say. To be honest if you put time and effort and jazzing up some of your old items clothing your friends will be interested by them, I know from experience.
