Differentiate between needs and wants

Answer 1

one answer: "Want" refers to what you absolutely have to have and "need" refers to something that you don't really lust for -- but you just need it. A need is a necessity. another answer: a "want" refers to something that you would prefer to have, what you see as a good rather than a bad. A "need" refers to something that is absolutely necessary to your health (both physical and mental). You may not want to eat salt or take insulin (if you have Diabetes), but they are necessary to your health.

Answer 2

wants are something that you just would like to have

needs are necessary to survive

I would say desires are like wants, but they are not always tangible

NOTE: Money is neither want or need, but rather a means of buying needs and wants.

Answer 3

please answer my question when you need sth or someone is because you must have them in order to live or to do something else; when something is nessesary; but if you want something is just to have it and you can also live without it, is the desire of something... do I explained myself?

Answer 4

Need is a necessity while want is a desire. ---- A need is water, but a want is Pepsi. A need is a winter jacket, but a want is a mink coat. A need is a car, but a want is a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.
