ITs a luxury to be able to afford anything that has no utility. If i could afford to buy 10 $10 nikon phones every day despite having no use for more than one, thats a luxury too. But being able to afford $500 for rent is not a luxury, in fact that is cheap.
What makes something a luxury isnt the price, its the cost to utility ratio. I’m paying my landlord, in rent, enough for her to buy 2 PS5s a month…for being able to live in a 0 bedroom place.
Or enough for her to buy 100 nokia phones… again the fact that you can spend the money on shit you dont need is hardly an indication that the price is high. Yea its a luxury if she can waste the money on nonsense, so? How does that not seem wasteful luxury to be able to afford that place, because quite literally that is what my landlord can charge for my place.
Because luxury is when you spend a lot of money for something with no utility. It has nothing to do with how many PS5s you can buy. I’m saying that living with my parents rent free and then doing that is equivalent in cost. Per month. To live in a room.
Ok, and? Luxury has nothing to do with the cost of a thing compared to some other arbitrary thing.
