Chapter 42
Need vs Want
One of her favourites saying or expressions.
Words also used in later years when we began to run out of ideas for Christmas and Birthday gifts.
She would say “yeah but I don’t need it, it’s just a want” and the saying stuck and to this day I ask that question to myself before making any purchasing decision. Is this really a need or just a want?
It certainly helps to put everything in perspective and can only wish I had understood the difference a lot sooner in life.
