Money is like a special kind of candy. When you have more money, it feels like having more candy, and that makes you want to do things you might not usually do. If you're really hungry, even a small amount of candy can feel amazing. But if you already have a big bag of candy, you might not need to eat all of it right away. That’s how money affects our choices: sometimes we decide things quickly, and other times we take more time to think.
Examples
- A child might spend all their allowance on candy if they have enough, but save it if they know they need to buy a toy later.
- A person with extra money might decide to go out for dinner instead of eating at home.
- If you're given $10 and asked whether you want to buy a toy that costs $9 or save the money, you might choose the toy.
