DO YOU REALLY NEED IT?
 Have you ever been shopping with either your mom or your dad (or both of them) and you asked them to buy you something?
What happened if they told you they wouldn’t buy it?
Did you say, “But I NEED it!”
Think about it now. Did you really need it—or did you just want it?
What’s the difference?
A need is something that you must have in order to live. Fresh water to drink is a need.
A want makes your life a little nicer—and might even be something fun. A candy bar is a want.
