Well, you know as they say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. A lot of people grew up with little money (just like me) and a lot of things felt like a luxury. For example having Nintendo always felt like a luxury to me. In the below discussion people have shared what they have always thought it was a luxury and really felt that way to them. You can read the whole discussion on Reddit.
1. The Shower
Well, to this guy taking a hot shower have felt as the finest luxury one can ever get. I honestly feel him.

I can bet that most people remember the luxury of eating out at a restaurant.
4. McDonald’s
Well, back in the days a lot of people thought that eating in McDonald’s was really good and a lot of people couldn’t afford it, but honestly most people didn’t even know what happens with your health when you eat it every day.
