Do you really need to get a new phone, laptop, gaming system.Or can you save your money for when you go to college, get a car, buy a house, go on a big trip, buy food. All you need in the real world when it comes. Save your money and only get what you need for survival.

Hmm, yes I also happen to agree with your statement. Wants are nice to have, but needs are more important.

Needs are things you absolutely need for survival like food, water and shelter and wants are desired goods that you want to have.

I think we all need to find a healthy balance between wants and needs. Obviously, we need to have all of our needs, like water, food, and shelter. But, there are also things that are categorized as wants but we all need in life, such as human connection, love, and hobbies. There are also wants that aren't as necessary, such as a new computer, or a car. These things are nice to have but they don't always need to be new. Sometimes we can find used versions of these wants so that we are recycling and saving the earth just a little bit more than if we were to buy it new.

I agree that it is very important to find a balance between your wants and your needs. Our needs should always come before our wants. Yes, wants make our lives more enjoyable, but we do not need to buy the latest gadget each time it comes out when our current ones work just fine. Electronic waste is a quickly growing problem and has a very harmful impact on the environment.

I think with what was said but I also think that some amount of self indulgence is good but we should definitely make sure that we as a human kind become better at limiting to mostly what we need but a few wants when we feel we want something in a limited way. This could help lead to less outrage as well as less used carbon emissions to create these items.
