    I get to work from home every day, and so does my wife.
    We each have our office space so we can work in peace but at any point in the day we can just have a chat, we can have lunch together, we can have our evening planned and be out of the door at 5pm

    It’s just all so much better than the old office-based life

    Apple Vision Pro headset. It’s way too expensive but the quality is so damn amazing. I’m a VR developer so I appreciate its power.

      Developing for a whole two hours at a time! Or can you run it without battery?

    I live a comfortable decently comfortable life. I know a lot of people are struggling. We just got a house a year ago. And as a younger generation, that’s hard to do these days. I would say simply having a house feels like a luxury.

    Seeing the bathroom related comments.

    I have my own personal sauna.

    In a cheap rental apartment.

    Also a built-in bidet.

    These things can be said for practically all Finnish apartments built this millenia. Buildings built before the 90’s, on the other hand… Personal saunas were a bit rarer and apartment buildings would just have one large one you could reserve hours on. Sometimes free sometimes for a marginal fee.

    But yeah. I think some might consider that a luxury, I guess.

    I have this comforter I bought at a consignment sale for 15 dollars years ago. Every day I revel in how much I like it.

      An addiction that’s got 1/5 chance of killing you while smelling disgusting. Very luxurious

      Too expensive and unhealthy to be an “every day” luxury but I do love a good scotch and a cigar to unwind.

        in my country cigar is cheap, but it seems luxurious in foreign countries. and also i don’t smoke 1 cigar for 1 day, but 1 cigar for 3 days because i am also a regular cigarettes smoker (i should stop smoking lol). my country has a unique kind of cigar that combines cigar and “kretek” anyway, this is the product i mean djarum cigarillos

      People have no idea how fortunate this is until it’s gone. Several years ago we had a bad algae bloom in the river that supplies our water and we couldn’t drink it for a couple weeks. Every store in town was out of water and you had people with well water leaving hoses and signs out front of their house offering it up to people. One Pilot gas station tried scalping 6 packs of Dasani for ~$50. It’s so crazy how you take it for granted until you can’t just go to the sink to fill up a cup of water (we have excellent tap water) along with taking for granted the fact that stores have bottled water on the shelves.

      Ever since then we’ve kept a small stock pile of water in the garage just in case.

        Thanks, i sould appreciate it more. Tap water in switzerland is maybe even healthier as bottled water.

      Washing my hands, I use a $1 bottle of dollar store soap, feels pretty luxurious (I’m a broke university student and my codormatory had no soap before I bought it don’t judge).

    why is a cat in your lap an absurd luxury?

    I guess in the same vein, my dogs sitting in my lap

    Day AND night moisturizer for my face and eyes feels pretty absurd and with inflation over the last four years is entering what I consider to be luxury territory for my budget.

    But, I love taking care of my skin and looking nice, and my face feels amazing after applying the moisturizer, so whatever.

        My day regimen is:

        Neutrogena Mens 3-in-1 Face Lotion and RoC eye cream

        Night regimen is:

        IFUDOIT Retinol Cream and Era Organics Eye Cream

        And I keep a bottle of Ceravie with 30 SPF on my desk to use when I take the dogs out for walks. It works really well if you’re consistent. I am in my 40’s but get mistaken for early 30’s all the time.

          Can it be biological? I’m approaching 40 and I’ve been asked to show ID buying alcohol until I got fed up and grew some beard… I don’t use this kind of products, I’m happy to live with just soap and shampoo and when it’s reeeeeealy hot outside and I just need to go out for long period of time I use whatever sunscreen I can find.
