    needs:
    are the basic things we need..
    like food, clothing, transportation.

    wants:
    gadgets, expensive cellphones, foods in a expensive resto, buying very huge house, etc.

    There is a principle that I learned from the book 'Wealth'
    it is said there that we should follow the Pareto principle or 80/20 principle.
    From your income, the 80% will be used to satisfy our needs
    and 20% will be our savings for our retirement.

    Why did I say this? Because I am tired of buying things that I don't need, I have many stuffs in my room. I felt like, I wasted my money through those stuffs.
    Instead of putting my money in a bank for an investment.

    I'll update you guys about that book, on how to save our money right!

    If you don't want to buy things that you don't need- minimize the use of your credit card or just stop using it if you can! :)

    i use "need" for living but use "want" for motivating.
