"The Ultimate Food, Shelter And Clothing REIT"

In terms of basic needs, one of the major approaches is to define the absolute minimum resources for long-term physical well-being.

I have decided to focus my article today on the ULTIMATE Food, Shelter, and Clothing REIT.

With Thanksgiving less than a week ago, I want to highlight the importance of the things that many of us take for granted, but there’s a reason they are called “essentials”.

In terms of basic needs, one of the major approaches is to define the absolute minimum resources for long-term physical well-being, usually in terms of consumption of goods.

A traditional list of immediate "basic needs" is food, shelter and clothing. The 1995 world summit on social development in Copenhagen had, as one of its principal declarations that all nations of the world should develop measures of both absolute and relative poverty and should gear national policies to "eradicate absolute poverty by a target date specified by each country in its national context.”

In simple terms, it boils down to needs versus wants. As Anne Murphy writes,

“This is all I need. This is all my family needs. We need food and water. That’s a given. Without it we’re dead. Clothing to protect our bodies from the elements, in summer or winter and shelter to further protect us. These are our needs. Anything else really is a want and should be only purchased, budget permitting. This is how I now live my life.”
In the REIT universe, there are plenty of ways to play the food, shelter, and clothing (all bare necessities) game.
