Life’s Luxuries - Your Thoughts.

by Teri on May 14th, 2008

Where I live, I am paying $4.29 for a gallon of gas and $5.99 for a gallon of milk. My weekly grocery bill is telling me that life’s necessities have gone up by over 15% since the beginning of the year. One thing that I do notice is the price of life’s luxuries are staying the same. I wonder why.

Could it be that we complain about $4.29 for a gallon of gas but will not complain about a $300 per ounce of our favorite eye cream or our $150 vial of perfume. I still see ladies lining up at the La Mer counter for their miracle broth.

If we like it and can afford it, I think we continue to spend on our beauty products - or products that make us feel beautiful anyway. I know I do and have yet to complain.

Have you cut back on your spending of your luxuries - particularly those that make you look and/or feel beautiful? Or do you feel that it is worth it to begin with and simply do not look at the price if it works? Also, say if your favorite luxury cream went up by 15% in just a few months time or fluctuated by price on a day to day basis, would you still splurge on it? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. I would love to hear what your thinking on still spending on life’s luxuries is.
