Has /biz/ figured out that luxuries are a scam popularized by marketers yet, or is this board still dominated by teenagers and third-worlders?

If you enjoy it and think it's worth what you paid then how can it be a scam?

If you paid a prostitute $1000 and she gave a mediocre blowie then sure I'd feel gypped.

But if she gave me the GawkGawk9000 eyes-rolling back toes curling so hard they crack level supersucc then I feel like that's a luxury worth paying for.

Nothing wrong is spending money for confort. Imagine not investing in a good mattress, for instance. Some good cooking pots to eat healthy meals. A good chair to sit while you post frogs in a senegalese incel esl forum---what's the alternative? Would you rather sleep on the floor like a hobo so you could be proud of yourself thinking you're not "cattle" because you didn't fall for the luxury meme?

There are different levels here. I work out and reasonably attractive - I don't need a luxury car, however if I was to get one I would not pick euro as maintenance in my country is ridiculous compared to Asian cars. Likewise for shoes - health benefits- are likely not what you think they are. Barefoot shoes lead to better foot health and overall body posture, so spending money there might be a good investment, but that's not what you meant

Don't tell me you wear vibrams?

Bare feet might be better for running but for walking or standing, thick padded soles are king. Ever been on a sightseeing holiday? Your feet would be killing you by the end of the first day with thin soles.

I walked 6 miles home after a night of drinking in canvas shoes in the rain. Guess what? Snow is soft. Pavement is hard. Plodding around on cobbled streets for 8 hours in thin sole shoes will hurt your feet, EOS.

paying for luxury services like tailoring is worth it. It's possible to have a super nice wardrobe for about $3-$5k. Getting a good haircut is worth it. Building a home gym is worth it. Getting a BMW isn't worth it.

Getting accustomed to luxuries is a scam.
Living without them like a Spartan is the true way.
Spending on better tools, better housing, better food, better woman, etc. is not luxuries.
Scam luxuries are $4000 handbags, $200K cars, $2K gpu(if its not working to earn you money).
But even a $100 perfume can be a not luxury if you make it an investment and an reasonable expense in your endevours.
Why?
because if you smell good you can just be over the threshold for that Russian real estate young woman and become her boyfriend and she just happens to have the threshold right there.
The small thing that tips the scale in your favor.
While you not smelling like anything all neutral would be just a bit under the rating. And get filtered.
