We as Americans do everyday, we just don't see it!. We NEED to make sure that we are caring for this planet and our future but we WANT to drive our car/SUV three blocks to get a plastic jug of homogenized and hormone filled milk to give our babies that will cause them to go into early puberty and then we will fill the landfill with the empty plastic jug that was used till we do it all over again!.!.!. and I am just as guilty of doing it as everyone else!. so in answer yes we will sacrifice a need for a want!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!. For instance, I wanted lumineers for a beautiful smile, but I needed a new car when the engine in my old one flew apart!. So I got a new (to me) car!.

Next: I want to add a bathroom in the basement!. However, I need to get the house re-wired so that I can get a reduction in insurance and lower my mortgage!. So never mind the extra bathroom!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd sacrifice my want for someone else's need

You should always sacrifice a want for a need, it is the messed up priorities that make people choose otherwise!. Needs are things that you need to live, wants are just an extra luxury, if you give up a need for a want you have messed up priorities!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, anytime!. At the time I can't think of any want that would be greater than a need!. I'm wondering if this question is far reaching to a need of another than myself!? However, I won't go there!. EDIT!.!.!.I retract that!. I realized I need to go to bed and I want to answer your questions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We all do!. Some more than others but, no one is exempt of sacrifice!. Let's say Paris Hilton wants to go make out with some guy at a club, but she's really gotta poop-now! As the saying goes: Want in one hand, s*#! in the other and see which one you get first!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
