    Both situations are examples of an economic problem.

    Explanation:

    Let us understand the term "economic problem"

    Though the expectation of the people are endless, the "resources available" to satisfy the need is limited. This causes the "economic problem".

    A student trying to decide how to spend his weekly allowance:

    The need of student may be endless but still he is in a position to decide only based on the amount which he has to spend. He needs to prioritize the needs and then spend accordingly.

    A country choosing to sacrifice some privacy to gain more security:

    Under a compelled situation, the country has to sacrifice the privacy and then have to gain security. The loss due to negotiation of privacy is for sure and this leads to economic problem.
