What this money game can teach you
Needs and wants are planning categories, not moral judgments. This quick challenge uses everyday situations to show why work, family, health and location can change the answer.
Frequently asked questions
Can the same expense be a need and a want?
Yes. A car, internet plan or work clothing may be essential in one situation and optional in another. Context, cost and available alternatives matter.
