a bmx bike with hand brakes 

 💯 

 fk yeah! 

 Blue jeans 

 You didn’t have any? 

 Of course I did but only one pair and I was only allowed to wear them to school. If I had worn them outside to play in and messed them up it would’ve been bad. 

 Be myself
Don't get brainwashed 

 Nice one 

 Air conditioning in cars. 

 Didn’t like the wind in your face? 😂 

 Didn't like the vinyl seats sticking to my legs. 

 Yeah, jorts do that to ya 

 😂😂 

 Having a trampoline 

 Yeah my neighbours had one and we never did! 

 I thought it was the most expensive thing in the world when I was kid. I was one of the few kids in school to have one. Lol 

 Trust fund kid 😂 

 I wish. 

 A nice car stereo was living large 

 With the sound turned up 

 Cranking it so everyone can hear 

 Toblerone Chocolate. Thought only the rich bought it.  

 And they still do 

 Big Screen TV 

 Indeed 

 Boxes of fruit gushers in the pantry 

 Clothes 😂🙏🏽 why I have so many now probably 😱 

 One can never have too many clothes 😘😂 

 My thoughts exactly Marie 😍💯💜🫂 

 Same here. 

 🫂💜💜💜💜💜 

 Christmas presents that weren't from the $2 shop. Meanwhile my friends got pools and play stations. I guess there's a reason I'm a grinch 😅 

 Also new clothes. We would go to the op shop and dad would find items with little holes or stains and bargain them down further. I spent my whole first pay check on a pair of new jeans and thought I was living the dream with my $9/hour 😂😂 

 Bet they felt so and you wore them everywhere! 

 Yup.

 Ice maker.  Only rich people had ice makers, we had just the trays. 

 Oh yes 

 Chocolate milk that came in a gallon already mixed. Who the fuck has that kinda money??? 

 Air conditioning 

 Hersheys chocolate bars in the fridge.  Some neighbors kids had them, and I was always in awe that they were in the fridge and nobody ate them immediately. My parents would never splurge on that luxury. 

 Growing up, going out to Pizza Hut, getting a giant plastic pitcher of Coke and playing the arcade cabinet in the corner while waiting for it all to come to our table on a Friday night with the fam felt like a fine dining experience. 

 Being able to take my Honor roll report card to Pizza Hut and getting the free personal pan pizza was 🔥 

 Truly.  Home run. 

 Wow we never had that in Oz 

 Always-on electricity and water. 

 This is still a luxury in more parts of the world than I can count.  

 Travel 🐶🐾🫡 

 Yes 

 Getting the new super soakers or air Jordan’s before your peers 😅 

 😂😂 

 luxury was going out to a family dinner they wasn’t the Wendy’s or Pizza Hut salad bar 

 Luckily we never had Wendy’s growing up in Oz 

 Eating out. 

 Long long-distance calls. It's crazy how much the internet has changed! 

 Oh yeah good one 

 Fast food🤣 

 Fish and Chips.  

 Everything, broke as a joke, I remember that once a month when my parents would get home from Costco and it was heaven. 

 🫂💜 

 💜 

 Any gaming console 

 staying in a hotel. we always went camping for vacation.  

 Now it’s the other way round for you 🫂😂 

 Whenever everybody was away, enjoyed having some peace and quiet just for myself 

 💯 

 A ferri  

 To study 📚Because it wasn’t easy to do it. 

 🫂 

 The good old days. 

 Answering machines. 

 They were painful 😂 

 A home movie-theatre 

 Oh yes 💯 

 This is still pretty up there in luxurious living.  

 Yes, if you go full retard and no, if you buy a projector (70$) for the kids. https://image.nostr.build/c1cef5c4648f99350743b4ecf5cea553a4fa6ba0d4017ff3b0578e0a53bfd0d9.jpg  

 Colored tv with remote control 

 My vision.
My PlayStation 2.
My piece and quiet in my room.
The two friends I had.

 you're assuming I grew up. Having a nice plane and runway at home. 

 Bingo, finally someone said it! Who has actually grown up 😂 

 anything a little bit more than the strict necessary!

 Sports car. 

 Ipod shuffle was a big luxury back then. taking vacations even 😂 

 A bike with shift gears 

 Even a can of peaches 🍑 for Xmas. 
Our family underwent poverty a few times 
New clothes that had not been someone elses 
Really basic things
I still struggle to step out the mind of scarcity. Been decluttering lately and my brain whst if  i need this in the future lol
