Study Notes
Needs and Wants
- Needs are material and immaterial things people require for survival and development, also known as "must-have's".
- Examples of needs include food, housing, medicine, and clothes.
- Needs can be structured in a hierarchical order, as seen in Maslow's pyramid.
Prioritizing Needs and Wants
- It is essential to prioritize needs over wants, as needs are essential for survival.
- Failing to prioritize needs can lead to not having enough money for essential things.
- Once needs are covered, individuals can consider satisfying their wants with the remaining money.
Distinguishing between Needs and Wants
- The same thing can be a need or a want depending on the individual's living situation.
- Examples include books (need for school vs. want for leisure) and a car (need for work vs. want for pleasure).
Factors Influencing Needs and Wants
- Time: Needs and wants change over time (e.g., getting married and needing a house).
- Place: Climatic, political, and other conditions of the place where one lives influence needs and wants.
- Living situation: Specific circumstances, such as replacing a defective household device or buying medicine, affect needs and wants.
Money and Needs/Wants
- Money is a means to satisfy needs and wants, but it is neither a need nor a want itself.
- Some needs and wants can be satisfied without money, such as the need for love and belonging.
Identifying Needs
- If something is essential for survival, it is a need.
- If it helps ensure future well-being and income, it is a need.
- If its absence can cause physical or mental health damage, it is a need.
Satisfying Needs
- Know your needs and prioritize them over wants.
- Set financial goals and create a personal or family budget.
