Let’s think about what you use every day — things you really can’t live without (needs) and things that are nice to have but not essential (wants).
First, let’s list 3 needs you use every day:
- You need water to drink — your body won’t work without it.
- You need food to eat — gives you energy.
- You need clothes to wear — keeps you warm and protected.
Now, 3 wants you use every day:
- Maybe you watch TV or videos on a tablet — fun, but not necessary for survival.
- You might play games on your phone or computer — enjoyable, but you could live without them.
- You might listen to music with headphones — makes life nicer, but not a need.
Finally, 2 things you don’t have yet but want:
- Maybe a new video game you’ve been wanting.
- Or a cool backpack or shoes you saw in a store.
These answers will be different for everyone — just pick things that make sense for YOUR life!
