6. 40-43/23 Make a t-chart on the board
40-43/23 Make a t-chart on the board. What are examples of wants and needs? Define want. (something that makes us happier) Define need. (something essential for survival) jeans? Brand name jeans? Being able to differentiate between wants and needs will be on your quiz and test. If you need to write it down to remember or review later – please do so. What is scarcity?

7. Scarcity
“Scarcity is an economic principle stating that because of limited resources, an economic system cannot possibly produce all the goods and services that people want; therefore, choices must be made about how the limited resources will be used.”
-Consumer Economics & Education, Glencoe, 2003

Cheshire Cat, Alice In Wonderland

9. What road are YOU on? DFGDF
(49-54/12) Can we relate any of these road conditions to financial situations? What is your best guess? What planning could we have done in each of these instances to make the trip more pleasant? 
Pass out second candy to students who waited. Discuss results of the study and compare with the class. Many times we want things now even if it costs us more. (delayed gratification)  What are the costs of this behavior? (pay interest on credit card to buy something you can’t afford, pay more because you don’t want to make another stop (milk at gas station) Lack of planning can lead to poor financial decisions and increased costs, what we give up to get something else is referred to as our opportunity cost – you hit snooze 5 times so you have to skip breakfast

10. Financial Planning More than budgeting More than investing
Financial planning is a thinking process that helps achieve goals.
A blueprint or plan for managing all components of a person’s money.
Arranging to spend, save, and invest money to live comfortably, have financial security, and achieve goals.
