Yeah, this better because Danny tried again with nice running socks which also fits the description before Larry came in with the private plane. He should’ve realized his question was not what he thought it was at that point lol
I find myself in agreement with those luxuries. Nice socks, good coffee, and being able to get whatever food I want at the grocery do signal to me that we are well off. I can remember having only a bag of potatoes and 5 days till payday after paying rent & power & water, and our neighbor bringing us some vegetables he dumpster dived because he was worried about us, so comparatively rich for sure, but also I would argue that not having to worry about the household budget because there is enough each month is also objectively well off, and those things are luxurious.
I am sitting here enjoying some good locally roasted coffee right now in fact and feeling so grateful for the position we are in at this moment. Will it last? Who knows? Maybe not. But enjoying it while we have it.
Rich? It depends on how you measure it I guess. Compared to the median maybe? But neither of us could quit working and survive.
Nice running socks are awesome.
And expensive.
Danny was talking about SmartWool socks, and those for everyday would be a extravagant luxury.
I like to wear thick work socks
Hear me out: wool toe socks
They're great
Isn't Danny a runner? So he understands why they're such a luxury.
