Writers and philosophers have been talking, thinking, singing, and writing about money throughout history. Every day, people all over the United States spend money to satisfy their needs and wants. Most of us have many of the same needs. We all need food to eat, a safe place to live, clothes to wear, and health care. But we all have different wants. In this lesson, you will learn how goods and services fill people’s needs and wants.
Objectives
Share some examples of wants. To list multiple wants, separate them with a comma, like this: car, truck.
