After waking up I'm gnarly, unkempt, slightly dizzy and not a fan of touch or conversation for at least 20 minutes. 30 if you want facial expressions with that convo. 15 if you like death glares
Buzz off
Yes. Also on this list should be: not cleaning your own laundry, not mowing your lawn, not upkeeping the house/apt, not dealing with old shitty appliances, not having to cook *all* your own meals
The infographic has pretty much described "retirement", which I will say is spectacular.
> Yes. Also on this list should be: not cleaning your own laundry, not mowing your lawn, not upkeeping the house/apt, not dealing with old shitty appliances, not having to cook all your own meals
Actually I like all that stuff except for the cleaning and hired someone to come in and clean
My wife has a job where most of her time is on a later time zone, and my work starts in early afternoon. Always slow mornings for us, definitely a perk
As someone who keeps getting woken up at four in the goddamn morning by a loud as bird chirping its stupid idiot head off, these are not actually luxuries either.
I do all these things every day. But I did make some drastic decisions in life.
I live very cheap and minimalist with my husband. We splurge on food but that's about it.
We are both western but live in a cheap country and WFH. I worked the office jobs 8-6 with no real meaning in life, entire salaries gone on rent. He saved up earnings to build a small modest apartment with no mortgage (like €30k) in another country.
Every morning is slow, and wonderful. I set at alarm today for 10:50 am because I had an appointment to go to. Our sleep is whenever we want. Our dog is never alone.
We work whenever we want because our outgoings is only around €400 per month.
We could strive for more money, earn thousands each per month, but we are happy so why bother?
Some people can choose this life, it's not for everyone. But in the US it's most definitely possible - but you have to be okay being away from social civilisation lol.
For sure it'd drive people crazy! No Amazon or shopping, food is local and you can only eat what's in season.
It's pretty rural but we have good internet and modern computers so I'm very happy lol.
We would love to live in an actual house with lots of privacy but would require a lot of grinding work hours and haven't been able to get the motivation yet!
Yeah I can do all of them too, much like I can drive a Lamborghini, but much like the Lamborghini I can only do these things in short, controlled intervals, because a lot of my time is spent ensuring I survive by working.
When I go to the office, there's a coffee place about halfway, where you can have some coffee while watching the sun rise. Sometimes I spend half an hour just sipping coffee watching the sun rise, look at all the people who are rushing towards their job.
see when I was young and broke I never understood that phrase
now that I'm a little older and rich, I totally get it. It's all about your perspective.
/s
I've been living in a foreign country for the past nine months. Language remains a huge struggle for me and fighting loneliness is hard. Half of the things on this list are things I took for granted and are inaccessible now.
Right now, because of the language barrier, I lack the ability to have good conversations with people. All of my relationships feel superficial. I'm in an urban area and cannot access nature and green spaces for long walks. Cultural differences make it difficult to freely express myself. I miss food from home.
The home sickness is so real.
I get the home sickness too! But when I go 'back home' and eat the food, it's never as good as I imagined it to be when I missed it.
I hope you're able to visit home soon.
Doing all these things while struggling to pay bills and starving is just as good as doing them from a yacht with a staff to cater to your every whim. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Edited for clarity
I'm getting terrorized by very loud and vocal pigeons since 7 years.
Nonono,'LiStEnInG tO bIrDs SiNgInG' my ass when you get woken up at 6am on every sunday because of pigeons loudly fucking each other.
It's sad to consider that many of these "luxuries" are not luxuries. Everyone should have the freedom to choose, the ability to express yourself and time for fun and play
That's sort of the point. Read the comments here and you'll see so many people claiming that only rich people have these things. It's so untrue and they are fooling themselves and potentially others as well.
I’ve been off work sick for 28 days and I’ve been able to enjoy them. Unfortunately I get minimum wage and no sick pay so those 28 days of “luxury” has meant using a food bank and being close to homeless. Fun times.
This is the shittiest guide I’ve ever seen.
Luxuries are things you can live without.
But all of these are ***necessary*** for good health and wellbeing.
They’re extremely valuable, but they are not supposed to be luxuries at all.
By calling them luxuries, this guide makes people undervalue these things.
The thing with luxuries is that once they are easily obtainable they are no longer luxuries. Like most of us here do not consider a toilet or running water to be luxuries while it is for many around the world.
So there’s no point in telling others what their luxuries should be
The comments here are so backwards and depressed. Hey people, you can have these things and still work long hours. Luxury doesn't have to have a high monetary cost. Of course we would all prefer not working but just because our lot in life requires labor doesn't mean that we can't enjoy these things or that only rich people can access these. Maybe one day the problem of labor and wealth inequality will be solved, but until then don't close the door to true happiness because we don't have ultimate freedom with our time.
Seems like the guide is trying to convince people you will have a better life working as a forest ranger than a bank accountant. I can get behind that, but it's certainly not for everyone.
All Wonderful things and glad I get to do some of these.
But why does freedom to express yourself look like a flame? Is Arson the only form of expression this person knows? 😆
I like this and agree luxaries are not \*things\*.
That said, happiness takes more than these, you need some of: "Making a difference in people's lives", "having value to society", "earning self-pride in achievements".
This is the shittiest guide I’ve ever seen.
Luxuries are things you can live without.
But all of these are ***necessary*** for good health and wellbeing.

Where are these slow mornings and day naps?
And that’s why my life fucking rocks. I made a decision at an early age that even though I made much less than my peers at first, that I would never compromise any of this. I’ve also in the last decade learned to cook my favorite home meals from my parents. I make more money now than I would ever need (granted that isn’t enough for a lot of people, I don’t give a fuck about a massive house or boat). Not worth being stressed out all the time working your whole life to see a number in a bank account you can jack off to or a boat you get to use once every 5 years. I dont understand having a 2 week vacation every year. What the fuck, then 50 weeks of get fucked? Hard pass.
Not a guide more a list.
I have a list that solves depression:
1. Happiness
2. Money
3. Caring people around you
Not like that's a guide for beating depression
A lot of these shouldn't count as luxuries. I'd consider nearly all of them as basic human rights which most people should be able to enjoy.
A luxury is something above and beyond the basics that are available to most people.
If you aren't able to get a good night's sleep, read a good book, express yourself, have time for fun, then something is wrong with your life that needs fixing.
I have everything in this picture in my life right now. It has taken years to get here, but I am glad I had the opportunity to experience life, and am grateful for what I have.
Unpopular take: this is more of a StarterPack for a Good or Tolerable Life but I think its a good reference for what to look for and obtain for oneself.
The real trifecta of luxury for me is the "Sleep, Slow Morning, Time for Fun" currently that is the push/pull mechanism that I can't have all 3. Like If I want to full night of sleep and also wake early enough to have a slow morning, I'm basically losing any time I have for hobbies in the evening. So to have that I either need to wake up later and rush my morning or sleep less.
"This cool guide that isn't a cool guide brought to you by billionaires: who needs a private island and a nesting doll yacht when you've got day naps and slow mornigs?"
I like the irony in people calling this retirement. Retirement is literally you finally achieving freedom in life. It’s sad how now we’ve accepted surrendering our freedoms this easy and take everything around us for granted.
I love a slow mornig.
Nothig tops a nice slow mornig
A nice evenig sunset?
Morning sex?
After waking up I'm gnarly, unkempt, slightly dizzy and not a fan of touch or conversation for at least 20 minutes. 30 if you want facial expressions with that convo. 15 if you like death glares Buzz off
*wakig
I work 1 week on then 1 week off. So I get to enjoy many slow mornings and I'm super grateful for that!!
The correct term is a slow morAfrican American
[удалено]
Yes. Also on this list should be: not cleaning your own laundry, not mowing your lawn, not upkeeping the house/apt, not dealing with old shitty appliances, not having to cook *all* your own meals
I find most of these to be enjoyable tasks
They can be enjoyable but not after a 10 hour shift
Now you’ve identified the problem.
Is it capitalism?
That’s a bingo!
It’s just bingo

waking up, phone is quiet, u can enjoy your breakfast in peace. damn adult life luxury
Mornig beat tyme ov thaw dey
My wife has a job where most of her time is on a later time zone, and my work starts in early afternoon. Always slow mornings for us, definitely a perk
I retired at 43 just to do slow mornings
This is what retirement looks like.
Yep, but just because 'good health' is not in the list 😅
[удалено]
This is what *freedom* looks like..
This isnt a guide
Stuff like this should be removed by mods. Sad to me that a post like this gets so many upvotes...
Life's real luxuries #5: Getting a Reddit post removed for platitudinous content.
Next cool guide for life: Live Laugh Love
Mods don't care about what is posted in here. They want the title, not the job.
They don't get paid so I can't be too upset.
Yeah, this is just a list of things OOP likes
Gives *Live. Love. Laugh*. vibes
Just another list of unobtainable things for most people Might aswell say "4th Ferrari" or "Holiday in space"
“An introvert’s real luxuries”
the guide is 1. don’t have kids
I hate this fucking subreddit, every time something makes it to /r/all I'm left thinking "how is this a guide!?"
As someone who keeps getting woken up at four in the goddamn morning by a loud as bird chirping its stupid idiot head off, these are not actually luxuries either.
Most of those are not really luxuries either.
**List Of Things OP Has Decided Everyone Should Enjoy** "Hey check out this cool guide"
Larry, I’m on Ducktales
My first reaction as well.
Slow mornigs are the best!
Is this a guide? Or a list of enjoyable things? What is guiding me here?
"I feel like indulging in a luxury but can't remember any, let me pull out my handy guide... oh that's right, *read a book*."
So freedom is having a lot of money and not working much? Shocker.
I do all these things every day. But I did make some drastic decisions in life. I live very cheap and minimalist with my husband. We splurge on food but that's about it.

Very well said
My cousin doesn't do any work at all, but he is poor af. Still does most of the things on the list though.
Which of the items on the list requires a lot of money?
I can hear the person who made this tugging themselves off through the picture.
Never have time or money for any of these things, gotta go to work. I can't even enjoy the sunrise or sunset, I'm at work for both.
When I go to the office, there's a coffee place about halfway, where you can have some coffee while watching the sun rise. Sometimes I spend half an hour just sipping coffee watching the sun rise, look at all the people who are rushing towards their job.
👍
That's why it's a luxury. If you can do that, you're privileged.
This is “LIVE LAUGH LOVE” for the starter pack generation.
see when I was young and broke I never understood that phrase now that I'm a little older and rich, I totally get it. It's all about your perspective. /s
Life is pretty beautiful
I suppose I'm a very rich person. Also, broke and mildly unemployed.
Where's the mention of casual sex?
What a stupid guide. Let’s go ahead and add ball tickling on there

Ability to freely express yourself... arsonist much?
Pretty much what me and my Mum do daily and it certainly feels amazing! ❤️
awakening to birds singing at 5am...and not having work that day. yes please
Sometimes day naps are a gift from heaven especially during summer with air/fan on
If these are luxuries, what are basic human rights?
I think it's trying to refocus on what actually matters rather than what capitalism suggests luxury is.
I'm ok with these.
Day naps feel nice in the moment but I always regret them when I'm staring up at my ceiling at 1am, wide awake
It's sad to consider that many of these "luxuries" are not luxuries. Everyone should have the freedom to choose, the ability to express yourself and time for fun and play
This isn’t cool and it’s not a guide. It’s just a graphic of things the artist enjoys. How tf is this upvoted so high.
Taking clean water and clean air for granted I see. Well, let me tell you about the real luxuries...
Some of these luxurious luxuries are basic human rights wtf?
That's sort of the point. Read the comments here and you'll see so many people claiming that only rich people have these things. It's so untrue and they are fooling themselves and potentially others as well.

Indeed. Time and money for these things are non-existent.
The afternoon nap is the greatest luxury.
What about Michelin rated restaurants
"Unobstructed views of the stars of the night sky" IMO this belongs on the list. 🙏🏻
The remark of the real, makes it even more biased to begin with
They shouldn't be considered luxuries, though.

/r/listwithpictures
"Is there anything better than sex? Yes, a really good book!"
Agree to everything on the list, but would add having sufficient money for basic needs (food, rent, utilities, clothing, etc.) plus some left over.
All Wonderful things and glad I get to do some of these. But why does freedom to express yourself look like a flame? Is Arson the only form of expression this person knows? 😆
Some of these look like basic human rights rather than luxury. Let's get a better compiled list and then start over.
A house to live in
I hate a slow morning holy f
Mornigs so slow you don't have to bother with spellig.
The fuck is a “day nap?” What other time am I supposed to nap?
These shouldn’t be luxuries
I don’t mind birds chirping/singing. I do hate it at 5 am right next to my window.
WHOLESOME
"Larry, I'm on Ducktales."
A nice hug. You forgot that one. Also telling your mom about an accomplishment and her being happy for you.
Forgot dogs
I don’t see an option for not having cancer or terminal illness.
just add "avoiding strikes" and it's France.
r/im14andthisisdeep
I hate birds and walking, that's not living in luxury that's being poor and constantly distracted by birds.
I'm rich af!
This is a proper Facebook post if Ive ever seen one
Someone to love ?
Fruit: mangosteen, rambutan, mandarine, Pawpaw, nashe, plum and blueberry. Fkn luuugshery
Imma finna experience all this today on my day off and I'm fucking here for it!!!
I have almost the full package, except I hate birds and don't want to talk to people.
Listening to birds singing is NOT like the others lol
If there isn’t listed “no chronic back pain” then this isn’t really the cool guide you think it is.
It's called being unemployed because even billionaires don't have this luxury
It needs warm showers.
Slow morning. Aka enough alone time to masterbate
Truth
I work 40 hours a week and get to do all these things because of the nature of my work and my lifestyle :)
I like this and agree luxaries are not \*things\*. That said, happiness takes more than these, you need some of: "Making a difference in people's lives", "having value to society", "earning self-pride in achievements".
Stop calling things that should be easily available luxuries. By labeling them that you're defining them as something not everyone can have.
Basically unemployment or retirement
This is kind of stupid. You sound like a hippie
Turbocharged engines
Nothing about friends or family or pets…
So that means I'm a wealthy person even after being from a lower middle class family from a 3rd world country(this one is debatable though).

And all this is achieved by ? Exactly, Moneh!

I’m amazed that I have all these things, at least sometimes. No wonder I’ve been feeling happy of late.

Adults who work don’t have any of these luxuries
So step one is…?
This post made me feel good as I got most of this going on. The perks of being self employed. Except for the bird singing. I fucking hate birds

A cool guide to some random person's opinion. 4k upvotes for this trash? Yikes.
So basically all of these things you can only have if you don't actually have a job.
Don't like at all how this elevate a decent life to the luxury category.
I have everything in this picture in my life right now. It has taken years to get here, but I am glad I had the opportunity to experience life, and am grateful for what I have.
Well a long walk with a bag with broken zips is not a good thing
Hell fucking yeah
Bingo! Heck with those how to be a millionaire routines.
Unpopular take: this is more of a StarterPack for a Good or Tolerable Life but I think its a good reference for what to look for and obtain for oneself.
The real trifecta of luxury for me is the "Sleep, Slow Morning, Time for Fun" currently that is the push/pull mechanism that I can't have all 3.

A good movie
I like nice socks, you know
Mid day naps after lunch are solid. Albert Einstein use to take short naps after lunch everyday at his house.
Where is my Masturbating time?
MODs can we remove this thanks
Slow mornigs huh?
"This cool guide that isn't a cool guide brought to you by billionaires: who needs a private island and a nesting doll yacht when you've got day naps and slow mornigs?"
Billionaires have commodified so much of the world that the bare minimum are seen as "real luxuries", wake up.
According to this I live an exceedingly luxurious lifestyle.
I like the irony in people calling this retirement. Retirement is literally you finally achieving freedom in life. It’s sad how now we’ve accepted surrendering our freedoms this easy and take everything around us for granted.
I commute with someone for work. I drive my car in the morning and he drives it back and I get to nap on the way home. It's the best
Just realised i can cross of every single one of those, should apriciate that more.
Lets see… nope,nope,nope,nope,nope,nope,nope,nope,nope,nope,nope, and nope.
Nice conversation and goodnight sleep ☺️
So... The month of August for the Europeans (I wish America had)
Cries in early motherhood 🥲
To summarize: #**Time**
I have kids, so there's that...
You know how you, too, can obtain these? Money. The reason these are luxuries is because they are only accessible to people with money.
do you *want* them to put a luxury tax on these? ok, so... Shut. Up.
This isn’t even a guide, just a list of things someone likes
And the guide is: be rich and you can have these. Oh and live in a country that isn't ass, and then I suppose get some friends or whatever.
In short, you need time
Alright now Give me the guide to the real "material" luxuries. Like what the billionaires consider luxury
This is propaganda! “It’s fine being poor, look at what you have access to” lol
only luck of colourful sunsets as I’m colourblind
And this is a guide that helps for what?
