The first thing that comes to my mind and seem to be a good one since i am older know is i want it but i dont need it and most likely wont use it. I want it just so i can tell people i have it. I need is something that you wil use and not let it just sit to the side..

Needs are things such as basic food, shelter and clothers that protect and keep you warm. The needs are thing we absoulty cannot live with out. Wants stem from our desires to have something. Weather it be desiner clothes, that juicy stake or the big mansion. Wants are things we can live ,or survive, without.

want can change, but most of the time needs are same, we need food to live, but we dont want a particular thing to eat...
