Necessities?
There may seem to be a huge difference between wants and needs, but how well do you really stick to your wants and needs. Of course there are the basic necessities such as food, clothes, and shelter, but many of these “necessities” aren’t real necessities. Much of food you eat such as late night snacks, expensive meats, and sweets aren’t necessary to survival, but because they are food they are deemed necessities. Instead, these food should be seen as wants not needs. This concept should not only be applied to food, but things like clothes and shelter.
