Our top ten luxuries (mostly unattained) while growing up (1970s) were-
1. Eating out in a restaurant
2. Flying
3. Owning a phone
4. Owning a car- or any personal transport
5. Traveling first class in a train
6. Owning a camera
7. Owning a 2-in-1 cassette player and radio
8. Going to a foreign country
9. Going to stay in a 5 star hotel
10. Having friends in different countries
Today, I don't really know what could qualify. A BMW, Rolls Royce? An Armani suit? I was reading about a guy who experimented with living on 32 rupees (about 60 cents) a day because that is our definition of poverty. At that earning level, three meals a day might constitute luxury.
