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?

#1

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.

    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.

    Many people in the world still don’t have access to this.

    It still is. We just don’t appreciate it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
