Lesson Overview

4.3 – Needs vs. Wants: Prioritizing Spending: Needs keep you safe and functional daily. Wants can wait until priorities are secured. Rent, food, health, and transport come first. Entertainment and luxury items follow later. Write needs in one column and wants in another. Reevaluate lists monthly as situations change. Limiting wants reduces stress about money. Meeting basic needs first builds peace of mind. Small rewards can still fit within limits. Smart priorities protect both wallet and freedom.
