I was facilitating a Sanlam session at a Child and Youth care centre in Gqeberha and one of the activities was the Needs and Wants activity and that went on to the direction of financial peer pressure. Some of the boys actually said that maybe if they really understood the difference between needs and wants early in life they would not have ended up at a centre like the one they are living in. They said that as people grow up they take bad decisions thinking that they are coping with their household realities whereas those decisions were just perpetuated by the unnecessary pressure we put ourselves through. Knowing the difference between needs and wants may actually help you navigate through all that pressure. This made a lot of sense for me as we went through the discussion with them, especially as young as they were.
