Everything around us can be divided into two groups: needs and wants. Needs are things that we must have to survive, like food, water, shelter, and clothing. Without these, we can't live. Wants are things that we would like to have, but we don't need to survive, such as toys, candy, or video games. Understanding the difference helps us make smart choices!
