I take almost 30 minutes to make 2 eggs some mornings, but they're perfectly cooked and wonderful.

Absurd? On the Daily?
How do we define absurd? As in a lot of people on the planet don't have it? That would be a lot of things. Absurd as in "out of the ordinary? Absurd relative to the people in the same socioeconomic group? I'm boring. Nothing.
I guess I'll try this: A decent job that is allowing me to have medical insurance and get paid enough that I can save money and hopefully have enough money to retire, or work a little maybe just for insurance in retirement.
I don't think I enjoy that fact because I'm always aware that it is a situation that a shitton of people will never reach, and that's what makes it feel like a luxury.
Beers and cocaine. I might have a problem.
I have this comforter I bought at a consignment sale for 15 dollars years ago. Every day I revel in how much I like it.
clean water
From your kitchen tap?
Yes
Heck yes
I live a comfortable decently comfortable life. I know a lot of people are struggling. We just got a house a year ago. And as a younger generation, that's hard to do these days. I would say simply having a house feels like a luxury.
it's subjective, cigar.
An addiction that's got 1/5 chance of killing you while smelling disgusting. Very luxurious
that's life!
Too expensive and unhealthy to be an "every day" luxury but I do love a good scotch and a cigar to unwind.
in my country cigar is cheap, but it seems luxurious in foreign countries. and also i don't smoke 1 cigar for 1 day, but 1 cigar for 3 days because i am also a regular cigarettes smoker (i should stop smoking lol). my country has a unique kind of cigar that combines cigar and "kretek" anyway, this is the product i mean djarum cigarillos
Seeing the bathroom related comments.
I have my own personal sauna.
In a cheap rental apartment.
Also a built-in bidet.
These things can be said for practically all Finnish apartments built this millenia. Buildings built before the 90's, on the other hand... Personal saunas were a bit rarer and apartment buildings would just have one large one you could reserve hours on. Sometimes free sometimes for a marginal fee.
But yeah. I think some might consider that a luxury, I guess.
Fancy cologne.
A really good mattress is a gift that keeps on giving
I get to be depressed while having a (shit) apartment, a job, a phone, and a car.
Globally I'm hitting a home run every day. In the US I'm a worthless schmuck who will never own a home or retire.
Just having an apartment of your own practically makes you live like an Olympian god, luxuriating in the true solitude and personhood not many enjoy
Actually my fave luxury, but I get how hard it can be to truly enjoy these things when you're being ground down steadily by the econmic treadmill
expensive coffee. i spend like $60/mo on coffee beans.
Magic beans taste soo good.
I put my AC on 16C and wear sweaters.
Love doing this
