Please help!!

Take a critical and analytical (objective) look at your life. Think about your wants and needs. List in two separate columns your top ten wants and your top ten needs. For each one, give a one-sentence explanation about why it is a want or a need.

Next, explain why you need your needs, but don't need your wants. How does this change your perspective when considering things you want?

this what I have so far


NEEDS:

WANTS:

New clothing

New phone

Hair products

Oculus headset

New shoes

drone

Education(college)

Car

My driver's License's

Phone case

1. List Needs n Wants with explanation

Need (act every human only got 3 needs - clothes, shelter, food n drink) but due following the era ; here is my personal thought

- clothes ( not more or less, just to keep me warm n protect my body)

- foods ( give energy to keep us productive for working out the day)

- home (for shelter from rain, sunny hot day and to sleep in privacy)

- phone (to make sure we haven’t missed anything happening out there and for communicate)

- money (so that all the needs can be fulfilled)

- shoe (protect feet from outdoor floor, tar etc.)

- education ( either paid or unpaid by own research online, books etc. cus world need more peoples with brain)

- news ( to get updated on what’s happening on earth or out. Inc online news, formal or informal)

- mask (due to new norm)

- goals ( dream as high as the sky, atleast when u fall u would falling among the stars or less on top of the mountain)

- air (nobody lives without it)

Want
- Car (to move from place to place faster)

- internet •esp wifi (to get stay connected with information and communicate more easily with people online)

- Starbuck coffee (normal coffee is fine tho, but Starbucks is win)

- Laptop (to do work and easier to join class/meeting online due to we got a lots of WFH nowadays)

- Air-cond ( to sleep soundly and extra comfort to stay at home )

- TV ( for entertainment and news )

- Fridge (to keep foods n beverages fresh and cool)

- Make up (to build self confidence and cover flaws)

- vacuum cleaner ( to sweep floor or wall easily and fast)

-air fryer ( shorten my cooking time and no sweat)

2. Why
Because i still can live my life without my „wants“ list fulfilled. I can use public transport instead of buying car which will give me more commitments to commit in. While for internet, i can read books in library or use free access internet provides to gather n gain informations instead of pay my own monthly internet bills etc.
