‘Indoor plumbing.’

‘Airport lounges. They are maybe 20% nicer then just sitting in a normal terminal seat. And they are getting over crowded with all the credit cards now offering access so you get more limited time in them and it’s harder to find a nice seat to sit and eat your mediocre breakfast and Bloody Mary.’

‘I always kind of shudder inside when I hear someone say ‘We stretched to buy a house at the top of our budget’ because that usually means that they don’t have a slush fund set aside to fix or replace the things that their new house will invariably need done.
Water heaters stop working, roofs leak, appliances die, etc. Been in my house for 30 year now and it’s been a ‘work in process’ that entire time!’

‘I have a very wealthy friend who is not materialistic, but she’s got time. Time to pursue her hobbies. Errands? She’s got time. Doesn’t feel like doing certain things? Hires people.’

‘The only people who are impressed by the car you drive are the people who can’t afford it.’

‘A garage. Or better yet, an attached garage. Especially if you live somewhere that gets snow.’
–Trompe_le_monde15

‘Good knees. I envy those who have good knees. I haven’t even hit 20 yet and my knees crack, pop get stuck, swell. It’s ridiculous, you truly don’t appreciate something until you don’t have it!’

‘Designer logos plastered everywhere. Rich people don’t care, only the insecure flex that hard.’
–Ok-Raspberry-5374

‘I inherited a Rolex and I’m afraid of damaging it. I only wear it for special occasions. I imagine some find a $10,000+ watch impressive, but unless you have enough money to not care, it’s sometimes exhausting to wear.’

‘Being able to get takeouts/ eat out without worrying about your monthly budget is a huge luxury. When I was a kid I used to wait for birthdays in my family, as that’s the only day my parents take me out to a restaurant.’
–Express-World-8473

‘A hot tub. Mine spends more time waiting to be repaired than being used. Wife insists on lukewarm water. No value in the summer. Must run around house in ice and cold in the winter. And return in a wet bathing suit.’
