Flaunting one's economic status changes in time. Luxuries are actually necessities first afforded and experienced by the privileged (and the not-so-privileged who save money, I should add.)
It was once considered luxurious to own a pager.
Back then, you'd be throwing away money if you bought bottled mineral water.
Eating at fast foods were once considered special day occasions.
For me, calling on your cellphone for a long time is a luxury today.
I'll just be waiting for the time when that is not the case, and I'll sound like an old foggy reminiscing about it.
