    Simply put, your needs are things you can’t do without, while your wants are things even if you don’t have them, you can still go about your day to day activities.

    For example water is a need because it is something you actually need to survive, fruit juice on the other hand is simply a want because you can actually survive without drinking a fruit juice.

    Wants and needs also varies for each individual. For some buying a new phone is something they need because they either do not have one, or their current one is faulty to a point where it limits their activities. While for those who already have a good and working phone, getting a new one is simply a want.

    Consider a need as something essential for your survival, well-being, or primary work requirements like water, rent, or tools. On the other hand, a want is more of a luxury item for added comfort or prestige, such as fancy clothes or the latest smartphone.
    Apply the 48-hour guideline: if you find yourself unable to manage without it after two days, chances are it’s a need. But if the desire diminishes, then it falls into the want category. Needs are what sustain you, while wants are what bring you joy.
