There are many ways to do this.To quickly determine the difference between a want and need, think of a need being something required for survival. Needs are water for drinking, food to eat, clothing to keep you warm, and shelter to live in.On the other hand, a want is everything else.But somethings are not a need or a want for example taking a shower is something you don't need for survival but you want to stay clean(and kill any germs you can with the virus)
