What do you consider luxuries because everyone has different ideas on this?

I consider my home, telephone, water, electricity, heat, cold, my refrigerator, my coffee maker, my stove, my microwave, my TV, my radio, my iPod, my computer, my laptop, my oven and my car all luxuries. I am blessed to live in a home with a roof and that I am able to make daily purchases for products I want.

I guess a luxery to me would be something that I splurged on or something just for me that I didn't need to live. I haven't really been doing the luxery thing lately. I did go to a concert recently. That was a luxury. Take care.

Eating out is a luxury, we do it within limits. Eating well, we do it all the time. If we were needing to save money, we would eat beans and weiners, and pasta and potatoes. We eat fresh foods, and try new recipes frequently, so that is a luxury. It is a luxury to not have to wait for payday to get a gallon of milk and a luxury to afford the gas to get it. Using a/c, drinking pop, eating cookies and icecream are all luxuries many do not experience. Even in this economy, I believe I live a luxurious life.

Hi eaf! I think the definition of luxury will differ from person to person. Anything which may be luxury for me may not be luxury for a person, who is very rich. Going for SPA treatment and spending Rupees 5000/- in a day or going to Five star Hotel and spending Rupees 3000/- on meals or going to some place by air, when the air ticket is Rupees 10,000/- per head, one way will be luxury for me, specially if my earnings for a month are only Rupees 40,000/-.

Luxury to me these days is house to myself, quiet, long hot bubble bath - you know where you add more hot water as needed, and dinner out. May not sound like much to some but hey I've always liked the simple things and don't seem to get them enough these days.

Unfortunately for me, luxuries are few and far between due to a tight budget but there are things I will not compromise on, like my coffee. I like a brand of coffee that is ridiculously expensive compared to others but it has to be in my pantry; I would rather miss out on some foods than give up my coffee!

Right now in the life I have these are things I call luxury. The big one is Money enough to buy food and pay my rent, my van and lastly my computer. I'm wondering what luxury would be to you as well?

I consider a luxury something I can't really afford.....or something that I spend my money on that might make it tight somewhere else in the budget...for the most part I am pretty much a frugal person....in this day and age you have to be with everything costing so much.

many things, cruises and massages and show tickets and pedicures... Actually I can take or leave the pedicure, but the other three sound pretty good!

i would say that i do allow myself a few luxuries, but they make me happy. I could have bought the 24" t.v., but i bought the 32" because i liked it better (and at $500 it was practically a steal!) One major thing i find to be a luxury is credit cards. I have 6 credit cards. They are not necessities, but they sure make things easier on me. They give me the opportunity to not have to have one big chunk of cash come right out of my checking. =]

Hi eaforeman, My luxury items are perfume and brand new books, sadly I am rarely able to indulge in either these days but they are the two items I would choose. And even better if the perfume has shower gel and body cream with it. It is a complete waste to me if someone buys me an expensive gift that isn't one of the above.
