There are a million and one things we need in our lives at any point in time and so does also, we want many things in equal measure viz a viz , ways we go about achieving or acquiring them is another ball game. In a nutshell, may what we actually want be in tandem with what we really need!

That's a good point. This is only one example, but when we go shopping I'm like, do we really need sweets or crisps and stuff like that. If we didn't buy some of these non essentials we'd save an amazing amount of money!

You're right. When those two elements are in sync, its a win win situation and inadvertently curtail the finances from spiralling out of control-from an economic point of view. Also bearing in mind it's application cuts across so many levels.

@sandsoftime77 Yes. But there's also having too much of what we need. Like the recent panic buying of toilet paper due to the coronavirus outbreak.

@sharonelton That was absolutely not needed and deprived others from getting those items. That's just textbook hoarding 101.
