Most of us will never be millionaires, but the gap between being broke and living comfortably appears small but feels very, very big. Being rich is as much a subjective feeling as a specific representation of one’s wealth. 

One netizen wanted to hear others’ experiences with little pleasures and luxuries that made them feel “rich” for the first time. People from all over the internet shared their thoughts and stories, with answers ranging from “going slightly over a grocery budget” to regular cosmetic procedures. So be sure to upvote your favorites as you scroll and share your thoughts in the comments below.

We just purchased a brand-new automobile. While talking to the gentleman doing the finance paperwork, he informed us that our credit scores were the highest he has seen in years. My wife and I just looked at each other and smiled. It took us by surprise, but we were happy to learn that we were doing the right things with our finances. Learning that made the rest of our day.

Spending and purchasing habits can also serve as a good reflection of what a person's financial situation used to be like. Even after acquiring a stable income and savings, some people will continue to spend like it’s their last dollar. Old habits die hard, and some might feel an overwhelming urge to take advantage of a sale they find and are immediately mesmerized by offers of “buy one, get one free.”

On the other end of the spectrum, a person that grew up with money might feel quite comfortable overspending, even if their personal income doesn’t quite match the costs. It’s just expected that friends and family might be able to lend some in a bad situation and there are always some assets that can be liquidated, a word that itself is a good litmus test for financial experience.

That depends very much on how big that something is. I can go out and buy a pair of jeans or a pair of shoes with no worries, but it is a slightly different matter to go out and buy a car or holiday just because you feel like it!

Financial literacy is more than just knowledge of the sort of terminology reserved for films like “The Big Short” and “The Wolf of Wall Street,” it also depicts a person's ability to think of money as a more flexible resource. When you are poor or have grown up poor, it’s hard to think about uses of cash that don’t satisfy immediate needs and expenses.

People Are Sharing Tiny “Luxuries” That Make Them Feel Rich, And Here Are 30 Honest Answers I remember the days I used to scrounge up every coin I had to take it to the bank in hopes to get a few bucks for gas money or some bread. I remember visiting a friend's house, and they just had a few dollar bills tossed in their bowl by the door, mixed in with various junk and keys. It was always just sitting in there anytime I visited. I remember thinking, "Man, I'd love to just be in a place financially where I could afford to have loose dollar bills just floating around unused".

Now every time I find a loose bill I had forgotten all about (and don't need for anything), I feel like "I made it".

But one does not need to manage multiple income streams and funds to appreciate subtle or not-so-subtle shifts in economic welfare. Often, spending habits are delayed, as the person still buys the same products and services, at the same cost for a little while, until, bit by bit, they can see that more and more money accumulates in their pockets by the end of the month.

It’s rare, but this doesn’t have to be a luxury if it’s a lifestyle choice. I met a bloke when travelling who had been on the road for over twenty years. With one backpack. He worked for board and busked for food money. Every few months he saved enough for the next train, bus, or plane, and would move on.

This is so tragic. Dental care should NOT BE a luxury. Is it only in the US where it's not considered part of Healthcare? Gum disease alone can destroy your body and possibly your mind. Studies have shown the ill effects on your heart and a likely origin of dementia.

This is not what makes someone rich, but it does feel very, very good. Then, slowly, the person starts to notice all those other goods and services that they stubbornly ignored throughout the year. Many of the answers here focus not on large, financial decisions like buying property, but on little treats one can finally afford for themselves. Unfortunately, being poor often comes with a degree of guilt about spending on “unnecessary” things even when one can afford them.

Of course, there are also the people who go a little overboard when they finally get some pocket change. At best, they get some flashy items and pay off interest for a few months, which is hopefully a good financial lesson for the next few months. At worst, and a lack of financial literacy plays a part here, they end up taking loans without understanding compound interest and overpay to such a degree that an “actually rich” person might cringe.

People Are Sharing Tiny “Luxuries” That Make Them Feel Rich, And Here Are 30 Honest Answers Oof. I grew up poor. We had enough money to pay the bills but that was pretty much it. Here are the things that make me feel rich:

Weekly grocery shopping in normal times. Not before the store closes so we get a good sale for average quality. Not looking at prices in the grocery or having a list. Full refrigerator.


Being able to buy myself clothes. The fact that I can spend every month money on clothes is bizzare to my mind.


Having a pet. I love my cat but she is a pain to my wallet and I live to treat her with good expensive food and treats all the time lol.


Being able to go and get a haircut more than once every couple of years.


But the one that was most sobering and didn’t know I even did it was being able to use however much I want from a product cause if it finishes, I can go and buy a new one. For example not slightly putting a mayonnaise in my sandwich so we have enough for a month or thin sliced meat, so there is enough. Even with my moisturiser. It was eye opening when one day my partner asked me why I always do it since we have enough. I still do it, sadly

Frugal habits die hard. And honestly I don't think it's a bad thing that I still look in the 'short-date' section at supermarkets, or use store-brand products when I've confirmed that they're as good as the expensive brands. Spending more money than necessary doesn't make me feel rich even if I am, it just makes me feel wasteful.

Not having to ask for financial help from family to do what in your mind equates to basic shit, and being able to casually wander into shops to see what they have because now you can dare to want something that falls outside of basic survival.

Growing up poor meant having it drilled into my head constantly to never ask for anything, don't even want anything, because the answer is no unless you're dying and need it to avoid death. I never really realized how much that became a part of my identity until I had the freedom and means to actually make my own choices. Buying something "frivolous" (Hair ties, a new blanket, caffeine, etc) still feels wrong sometimes, and while I know my parents were doing their best as stressed out blue collar workers, I can't help but feel a little resentful toward them for how hard they went at the "Don't you dare want nice things" angle when I was younger.

We were poor growing up. Mom never said don't want or don't ask. But we never got everything we wanted but always had everything we needed. I didn't realize how poor we'd been until things got much better when we moved when I was not quite 15. Christmas that year was an eye opener. It's when I realized how hard things must have been before.
