How do you distinguish you needs from your wants?
They say that you should buy only what you need, and never what you want. How to distinguish them? I went to the supermarket, and in the clothes section they sold socks. Thick, with a turned on top, deep cherry colour... I immediately wanted them, because my feet are so cold in winter, and I thought I'd wear them around my place (I wear socks, never slippers). I didn't buy them, and now can't stop thinking about them. So, do I need them or do I want them? I would not have wanted them if I didn't see them; if I buy them I will wear them and keep my feet warm. Are they my need or my want?
Additional Details
I have other socks, my they are short, thin and cotton, and there are thick. And my feet are constantly cold.

Its difficult, for example I would say everyone needs sex but everyone wants a threesome for example

If you need them then you can't live without it...like food.
If you want it it's bc you think it's cute and u want extra of something.


juicy_wishun
It is for comfort, so the socks are a want. If they were to prevent frostbite, they would be a need.

A need is different from a want because without the needed thing you will suffer. But, if you don't get somethign that is merely a want, then you will not suffer, you will just be denied enjoyment.

a need i something you can no live with out -- food and a roof -- anything else is a want == take a car == with it comes maintenance,gar,insurance., and depreciation -- if public transportation is good is becomes a want!!!


sjane1994
i think the socks are what you want because if you already have socks you don't really need more, do you?

Do you need those exact socks or would a cheaper pair do the same thing? Do you already have a drawer full of socks or are they all worn out and you need a new pair?

Need.

Clothing, food, and shelter are all needs.

It does get a little fuzzy tho between needs and wants tho.

Everyone needs clothing, but some want to buy designer brands because the will look good. They are satisfying a need, and satisfying a desire for a pleasant appearance.

I say if you have cold feet, you need warmer socks. And I think it boils down to value.

Are they well made socks? Will they last for a while and continue to keep your feet warm for a long time? If so then you may not need to buy anymore socks for a long time!

And there is nothing wrong with buying something that satisfies both a need and a want!


smdivin
The best way I can determine a want from a need is to ask myself if I can manage without it. If I can do without it, it is a want...if I can't do without it, it is a need.

In your case, can you manage to keep your feet warm without those socks? If so, it's a "want" and you don't have to buy them. If however, your current socks just don't cut it and your cold feet are bothersome, then you could consider it a "need" and go ahead and purchase them.

I've decided its a need because your feet are cold, and that would be the solution to warm feet. :)


blackjanuary
IF it isn't something for survival then you don't need it. If you were going to freeze to death then i would buy them, but i'm sure you can put on other clothes instead of buying

Well the only things we need as humans are air, food, water, shelter, and love...Everything else is only wants. But I see where you are coming from though...
