unlimited wants , unlimited needs and limited resources

UNLIMITED WANTS: A characteristic of people such that they are never totally satisfied with the quantity and variety of goods and services. This is one half of the fundamental problem of scarcity that has plagued humanity since the beginning of time. The other half of the scarcity problem is limited resources. Unlimited wants and needs essentially means that people never get "enough"--that there's always something else that they would want or need.

The bigger concept I see at work in these situations is one that too few people today appreciate: scarcity. Scarcity describes the condition of limited resources, and unlimited wants and needs. My daughter Jaley only has a certain amount of money, but there are many toys she wants to buy-limited resources, but unlimited options.

A basic condition of human existence which means that people are never totally satisfied with the quantity and variety of goods and services the consume. It means that people never get enough, that there's always something else that they would want or need. Unlimited wants and needs are one half of the fundamental problem of scarcity that has plagued humanity since the beginning of time. The other half of the scarcity problem is limited resources.

Unlimited wants and needs essentially means that people never get enough, that there is always something else that they would like to have.

Wants or Needs

To understand why wants and needs are unlimited, consider the phrase "wants and needs." Wants and needs is the term for... well... wanting and needing things.

Human people want some things like hot fudge sundaes and red sports cars. Human people need other things like food, water, and oxygen.

Needs:

Needs are best thought of as physiological or biological requirements for maintaining life, such as the need for air, water, food, shelter, and sleep.

In my opinion this is true. There are people with the apple iPhone 4 who were already ready for the apple iPhone 5.

We have that kind of keeping up with the Joneses type of attitude always wanting to be in the know wanting the new jeans that are coming out or new coach purse that’s IN STORES NOW!!!. When the lengths we will go to just to get what we want even if we don’t have the resources at the time or the money or we have need we need to take care of but this distraction with the want is causing us to steer towards the wrong things to do at that time.
