Be careful if you could not differentiate between Wants and Needs. Because if you could not differentiate which that include the category of wants and the category of needs, possibly you become the wasteful.

This could become problem in your finance. If you look at your financial position and consider how you have built up the debt that you are currently faced with you might just find that it is due to over expendinture of wants.

Needs are something that required human to lead a healthy happy life on a daily basis to maintain good health in mind and body for you and those who you are responsible for.

Good food,  health care - These come under the banner of needs because these are the simple things in life that you need to get by. 

DVD players,  the latest designer clothing, cigarettes etc - These are wants and there is certainly no need to have them in your life. 

These are the things that get people into trouble. These are the things that cause your debt and stress and detract from your lifestyle. 

These are the things that make people miserable at the end of the day because you still have to pay for them, you don’t need them and you certainly don’t need the debt that comes with them. 

Take a look around your house and see how many items there are that fall under the category of wants, and then ask yourself how often do you use these items and what sort of pleasure have they given you compared to the distress that you are now feeling with the debt you have to pay back. 

Although possibly currently you can required  what that you want, but you have to be wise, don’t forget to the requirement in the future. We must prepare our pension fund, we must also prepare the educational fund for our children, and all that was the requirement for the future that must be prepared from now.

Just understanding the difference between wants and needs might be all that you need to turn your life around and ensure that you never become overburdened with debt again.
