Wants vs. Needs

It is usually around this time of year that I find myself wondering what is important in terms of what I spend my hard-earned money on.

We all want certain things. We all need certain things. Sometimes we try to make wants into needs rather than actually needing them. The more we make our wants into needs, the more wants we have and then we all of a sudden need everything and it just gets childish. I NEED the entire Hannah Montana Bedspread set with matching bathroom rugs…..

“IF I DON”T GET IT I AM GONNA DIE!!” Could you imagine that ever happening to someone? Well in terms of hannah montnan type’s of things…..not necessarily something like…..penicillin.

I NEED to pay my rent. I NEED to buy healthy food. I NEED to go to work and earn money.

I NEED to go to the Smashing Pumpkins 20th Anniversary Tour performance at the world-renowned Palms Casino Pearl Ampitheater?????

No. But I sure want to.

I need to get into grad school. I need to grow up some more. I need to think about starting a family……..

I want to accurately differentiate the two. Am I selfish to want things….and to do things?

I guess it is just a case by case basis and especially varies person to person.

I need to stop writing about this. Thoughts?
