After growing up in a home where every unexpected problem was a financial emergency, my idea of wealth became “I just want enough money so that if something breaks, I don’t get anxiety about how to deal with it.” © Obiwan_ca_blowme / Reddit
I am from a small island in the Pacific. While I mostly still take cold showers, I have always felt that a hot shower is the finest luxury one can experience. I had my first hot shower when I was 22 years old, and I will never forget it. © FSMPIO / Reddit
Towels. Honestly, I was almost 10 when I realized people didn’t just put back on their dirty clothes. I thought towels were just for hotels or were maybe a prop on television. I went to a friend’s house, and she asked for my help to fold her towels. I remember laughing and thinking she must be rich. Long story short, I wasn’t sure which way to fold the towels, and begged my mom to buy them after I revealed that my friend, Simone, had them. She bought a box of used ones from a local auction and I walked around with them on my head, feeling like an empress after that. © shakezula1025 / Reddit
