What is, our necessities never equal our wants? ? what does it mean explain

What we need and want are two different things. What we truely need to survive maybe be food,water,shelter. But, we may want phones,shoes,friends, and fancy cars. A person can get so caught up in what they want they forget what they need. It's hard to keep our priorities straight with the distractions of the modern world.

What does this mean lol.
