Luxury

• Luxury is a double-edged sword, you’ll think it’ll make you feel good, but to many, it only provides temporary confidence and make them feel inauthentic. In addition, there’s a psychological cost to luxury as it takes away our happiness and enjoyment from other less expensive or priceless things. Thus, winning a lottery can be a curse, not a blessing, as you’ll end up blowing it without solid money management skills.

• Luxury, if addictive, can destroy our mind and body, causing weakness and breed greediness. Our body gets used to it, and it keeps us in our comfort zone. On the extreme end, it makes you feel you’re entitled to the products you’re acquiring and make you think that you’re far more special than everyone else.

• Luxury should be about living and experiencing things. The only time luxury is good is when you use it from a position of strength rather than dependence.
