Take a critical and analytical (objective) look at your life. Think about your wants and needs. In two separate columns, list your top ten wants and your top ten needs. For each one, give a one-sentence explanation as to why it is a want or a need. Next, explain why you need your needs, but don't actually need your wants. How does this change your perspective when considering things you want?

Designate how you will allocate the $240 monthly.
