A lot of people dream about big luxuries, but some of the best ones don’t cost much at all. Sometimes, it’s the little things that make us feel truly spoiled. What’s a “luxury” you think most people can actually afford?

Unconditional, endless love, affection and gratitude... from a rescue pet.
Or, if you can't keep a pet, just volunteer at a shelter, a few hours per week. Animals living there were often mistreated, neglected, abandoned. Show them some kindness. They way they respond would melt stones.
Good quality toilet paper...for me it's Kleenex or else...
Same. Sadly I also have to keep it in my room as my housemates need yards of it at a time but don't replace and buy cheap stuff.
If you look at the past we live with luxuries. Carpeted floors, aircon, free (except USA) medical care. Antibiotics, vaccines, clean water (mostly), sewage plants, food from around the world, spices, more than one or 2 sets of clothes, cheap clothes, movies, music, books at your fingertips. Easy travel. Many things we take for granted now and yet not even the wealthy had back when.
Cheese. I will never give up on the love of my life.
This is an every day essential for me based on needing dairy for bone strength.
Breathing. I think that, for now, it is the only free luxury that the vast majority of the world's population can enjoy.
Yeah, you say that but somehow there is a f*****g air rights tax. I wish I was making that up.
Candy
I've been trying to kick the habit of buying candy. It's usually whenever I crave fruit. So I buy fruit instead. If I do buy candy, it's the fruit juice kind. Not really healthy, but better than sour patch kids that hurt my tongue and give me a stomachache.
Flavored Ramen Noodles
Add a little sriracha and some green onions. I often will also use leftover chicken that I shred or chop up. Also really good with flaky white fish. I like a baked tilapia with lemon, then I add it to the ramen right before serving. Pollock, Whiting, or Catfish would also work depending on your region. If you want to add something saltier, anchovies or canned sardines would be good too I bet. Although Ramen is pretty salty already. Dude, I made myself hungry

Lion's mane mushroom tea. It's a game changer.
Education. It's mandatory to learn in North America. Some places it's encouraged or urged, but not enforced. Some places it's illegal. If you live someplace where learning is accessible and free, you definitely should take advantage of the freedom to discover and explore.
Unfortunately in USA some schools it is enforced but with a negative impact by no child left behind. Here all pass to the next grade regardless of knowledge instead of ensuring understanding.
