Features of human wants

Features of human wants:

They are numerous and unlimited - when one is satisfied another crops up to take its place/begin at birth and end at death.
They continually change with time, age and gender. What is required when it is cold may not be the same as what is required when it is hot.
They arc habit forming - once an individual develops taste for a commodity he/she tends to use it over and over again.
Require resources - limitation in resources required means only a few human wants are fulfilled/require resources in order for them to be satisfied.
They are universal/common to all human beings - all human beings need goods and services for existence though quantities may vary.
They are competitive - wants compete for attention each yearning to be satisfied.
They vary in intensity - urgency/some wants are more felt than others e.g. Basic wants/some may not be postponed.
They are complimentary - satisfaction of one creates a second derived from the first. e.g. for the second to be satisfied, it requires to be complemented by the first while others are satisfied jointly.
Insatiable - wants cannot be fully satisfied.
Recurrent/repetitive - once satisfied they are felt again.
