"need vs.want"

You would often here children asking things that they want. My kids ask me all the time that they want this and that. I tell them that we are not rich. And every little penny that comes in is important . Most of what we earn are used in buying food for the family. And so I explain to them that what they want is not ex exactly what they really need. And so they must learn to prioritize things and set aside those things that is less needed. Now if they really want something, they have to buy it on their own by learning to save up from their allowance.

It is human nature to want a lot of things but in reality we only need very little. Too often, we are not thought to differentiate between the two. That is why this happens. You may try to understand the reason behind and understand the actual need.
