We all have different baselines for what we considered "making it" when we were younger. For some, it was ordering whatever you wanted at a restaurant instead of looking at the prices first; for others, it was branded cereal or central AC.

If you didn’t grow up privileged, what was that one thing that screamed "luxury" to you?

When I was a child, cake and pizza were something we only had for birthdays. šŸ°šŸ•

Whenever I visited someone, and they had a cake at home, I would assume that someone in the family had celebrated a birthday in the past few days.

It always seemed very strange to me when there was a cake and nobody's birthday had taken place.Ā

For me it isĀ  going to the supermarket, and not looking for the cheapest brand or pack of the thing u came to buy. Earlier i would count every penny i had, if i could maybe take a sneaky candy bar, without my parents knowing.Ā 

If i got money and they told me that i could buy some sweets i would be happy like i won the Grammy awards.

I must agree with @KatarinaDoĀ and @MarkoDrĀ here, cake and pizza wasnt a usual food some1 had, it was only for special occasions like birthdays, and also going to a super market was a luxury by itself, we could only go to local shops and still count the money we had and calculate what we can have and what we can not.

When I was little, I definitely thought that a luxury was going out for dinner or lunch at a restaurant from time to time… or even ever. We could go out for a family lunch maybe once every two or three years when I was a child.šŸ˜…
