resources to keep the house clean, orderly, attractive, and make it a
comfortable place to live in. If they value efficiency, they ill buy

10. Family Needs and Wants
 Every family and every member of the family has needs and wants. Needs are
basic or essential t living. They support our existence. Basic needs like food,
clothing and shelter are necessary for everyone to survive. Man needs food to
keep his body strong and healthy. He needs shelter to protect himself and his
family from the heat of the sun, from strong winds and rain and wild animals as
well as provide him privacy to do his personal needs. He needs clothing to
protect his body from extreme weather and to enhance his looks and make him
acceptable to others.
 Man, as a member of society, has expanded his needs to what he calls his social
needs. These are needs to relate to others, be accepted and belong to a social
group like his family, his school group, his church group, and his group in the
community. He needs to establish and maintain smooth and lasting
relationship with different social group which is why he has social obligations
to perform. He has social obligations to help the needy; attend social
gatherings of family, friends and relatives; be a sponsor in a baptism, wedding
or a fundraising activity in school, church or in the community. Meeting his
social obligations makes him feel accepted and gives him a feeling of
belongingness and security.

11. Wants, on the other hand, are different from needs. If
needs are essential to survival, wants are desires an
individual would like to have or posses to give
him/her enjoyment and satisfaction. Buying a dress
simply because you want a new one or be in fashion,
or a pair of shoes that are branded and expensive
because your friends wear the same brand are
examples of wants. It is important to know your
priorities. Your needs should be prioritized over you
wants. If you keep this principle in mind and practice
it in life, then you are a wise manager of your
resources.

12. Tips in Managing Resources Effectively
1. Use energy and time properly. Alternating heavy and light
work and providing rest in between help one to recover spent
energy. Preparing a schedule of work and following it help
make wise use of time.
2. Know how to budget money spending worthwhile. As rule,
needs should be attended first before wants are to be met and
satisfied. Family values should dictate which should come first
in the family budget and which should be last.
3. Know how to use, clean, and take care of appliances, tools and
furniture to keep them functioning well. This also reduces cost
of repair and replacement.
4. Adopt a cheerful and positive attitude towards work to make

understanding the characteristics and behaviour of others

13. 5. Assign responsibilities that can make use of one’s talents and
skills in doing family chores such as cooking a delicious meal,
recycling old clothes, or decorating the huser. This makes work
easy and interesting. It raises the standards of workmanship of
the things you do. |It improves the skill and makes one more
creative. Thus, one’s work becomes better appreciated and well-
liked. And with this, one feels fulfilled and satisfied.
6. Make good use of community facilities such as parks, roads,
hospitals, school, churches, and libraries to meet some of the
family’s needs and wants, reduce spending, and realize family
goals.
