Want vs Need

Good morning everyone it’s me vanya_09! I hope you’re doing great today.

Let's start!... 

Online shopping is a new trend today, it is the most convenient way to buy things we want. Just a few clicks to our mobile phones and TADDAAA!!! in few days in time your parcel will arrive at your doorstep. Who else doesn’t use online shop apps today? Or even the shop we see in Instagram or facebook or any social media platform?

Ordering in online shops sometimes become a habit. Add to cart here and everywhere in shops. Funny isn’t? But before buying things in online shops, do you ask yourself if you need the item or just want them just to satisfy your pleasure at one thing?

So now, let’s talk about WANT vs NEEDS.

Wants and needs are two different word with different meanings.

A quick google search about these two words.

  • WANT – have a desire to possess or do (something); wish for.

  • NEED – require (something) because it is essential or very important rather than just desirable.

You can see the difference, right?

If we put this discussion in buying things in online shops, we must assess ourselves if we need it or we just want it.

Let me put it in a list.

The following points are the difference between needs and wants:

  • Need is something we need for survival like foods, clothes, or the basic needs for our daily lives. Want is just a desire for something just to fulfill our pleasure.

  • An individual needs are limited while his wants are unlimited.

  • Needs are something that you must have, in order to live. On the contrary, wants are something that you wish to have, so as to add comforts in your life.

  • Needs are those items that are required for life and does not change with time. As opposed to, wants are those items that are desired by an individual either right now or in future. Therefore, wants might change in time.

Even though we have that large amount of money in our pockets or wallet, doesn’t mean we have to consume it so easily. We must know what we want and what we need for us not to waste our money and we can save them in future purposes.

We must think wisely before we regret it later.

Yup. What we do today is survival. We need to survive for every day needs and that's enough. We don't need things that are temporary.

I think this is a reminder for me to prioritize what I really need in this crying times. All these days I've been motivating myself to do more because I want to buy some merchandise of my bias in Anime. Now I guess I have to rethink things. Thanks @vanya_29 I really made a realization out of this. Glad I've read this article.

We must not focus ourselves on what we want. It's important to get what we need first before getting our wants. Wants will make us happy but needs will be good and will support us in what we do everyday

That's true. Survival in this time of pandemic is important. We must think what we really need.

Most people think they "need" some certain things. Mistaking their desires for necessity. ❤️

A lot of confusions people do. So as a student, I need to consider what I need before the things I want coz I don't have money for living. My parents provide it for me my allowances
