What does luxury mean to you

[fenderbelly]

While reading a thread on this forum today i saw the statement
Workshop – luxury
This got me thinking as to luxury in my life. What does luxury mean to me now in my current location—age—financial position – ETC

The Luxury of Location.
1 For 50 of my 67 years i have lived within a 10 minute walk of the beach, this is luxury.
2 a walk on the beach with no loose dogs running around.
3 somebody else walking takes 5 minutes to have a chat.

The luxury of age
1 My kids are grown up/are happy/have families.
2 my Granddaughter says “awe poppy you’re funny. my grandson says “awe poppy you’re fat” then giggles
3 I go to a pub in the next town and a blonde shapely attractive 30 something gives me a hug and a peck on the cheek and says ”hello doll how are you “

The luxury of finance.
1 I have enough to live on in my own modest way
2 I owe nobody nothing
3 I manage

The luxury of Fishing
1 The weather’s good
2 The other fisher people are chatty
3 I catch something/anything

The luxury of Travel
1 last year spent a week in Burra and Clare in South Australia
2 last year spent 3 weeks touring Far North Queensland
3 Next month will spend 2 weeks touring Tasmania

The luxury of health
1 The pills are working
2 Could be a lot better
3 Will be better.

Life’s luxuries.

Food A scotch fillet

Beer Will alway be available on Friday night.

Friends i have none, acquaintances i have many.


I have my computer my camera my fishing gear and a roof over my head.
Life is good.

Cheers Fred

Luxury for me - an hour alone in the workshop. I love my kids, and I love that they want to be in the 'shop with me when I am working, but keeping an eye on them when I am trying to do something really eats into productivity!

Luxury: Any day when I don't throw up i.e. the pain is managable. Everything else is icing on the cake.

I previously thought luxury was:
Time spent with loved ones or friends.
Time spent alone pursuing hobbies.
Time spent with horses and other various animals/pets.
Good food and drink.

..all the usual stuff.

Luxury....

Habitat: when I'm home I live in a moderate(170sq. m) pretty house with a veranda all the way around and a deck for entertaining.This is located in Mundulla,Pop.161,very pretty,lots of redgums,very quiet with a brilliant pub.

Finance: I am an oilfield supervisor and paid as such,ie no complaints for 6 months a year work.I also earn $75/hr drilling waterwells when I'm home if I feel like it.My wife also earns good money and now is part of an investment group as a director.

Family and friends:I have a loving family and two lots of very good friends,home friends and Moomba friends.Oneday both will meet..hopefully not at my funeral.lol.

Yeah...I live in luxury.

fenderbelly says "Friends i have none, acquaintances i have many"

Some years ago I heard someone say most people you know are acquaintances not friends.

Friends are the ones you would call to go Bail for you at 3.00 am after you’re charged for a pretty serious, out of character, drunken incident.
