Luxuries are okay as long as you can afford them without damaging your credit card
I guess that's why I don't have luxuries... I don't have a credit card.Originally Posted by fernia001
I see them as pointless. A mortgage payment or a purse that people will believe is fake even if it is not because of the popular opinion "who would spend that much on a bag?!?".
There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.
I say if you can afford it, go for it.
Unfortunately, people who spend money on these sorts of things are not typically the small percentage of wealthy who can actually afford to spend their money so flippantly.
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
even though I like luxuries, I think there is some truth in the saying that "in the future, people who need only a few things, will enjoy their lives the most" (it's might be an awkward translation, since it's from a German friend). After all, people should make their personalities luxuries - rather than their cars, or clothes. That's what it means to me.
Another rarity I forgot to mention in this context is the 1900s MINUTE REPEATER CHRONOGRAPH, solid and still working, one of my favorites.

I'm quite reasonable when it comes to spending money on clothes and luxuries. I buy what I need and not what I want. I don't see the point in having a designer label on all my clothes.
Yes I like nice clothes and nice things, but that doesn't mean I'd spend a fortune on getting them. I'd splash out a little more on a dress for a special occasion or something like that but I'd make sure it would be something I would wear again and not just throw it to the back of my wardrobe.
Even if I had loads of money to buy fancy things, I don't think I would.
For some reason I think that spending large amounts on money on luxuries is a way for some people to compensating for missing happiness in their life.
