Answer 1

This is the best I can explain ( Im trying my hardest to explain it in simple terms)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. When we obtain material wealth, we decide to use that material to an extent where we cant stop having it. {For Instance, if you keep feeding a baby a lollipop, they would sort of adapt to having that lollipop. So once you take it away from them, they start, you know, crying.} Same for us. We cant go without that material once u have so much of it.

2. This is a personal opinion that anyone can agree or disagree. Money can make us temporarily happy, but once its all gone, it takes your happiness with it.

3. This is a difficult question i cant answer sorry :(

4. Wants can improve your quality in life that we desire, but Needs are necessary in life and our state or survival

5. An imbalance between want and need can lead us to materialism. When we start wanting too many things even though we do not need them
