It’s funny what you consider to be luxuries at different points in your life depending on how much money you have in the bank.

And a recent Twitter thread that was started by a woman named Victoria Barrett showed just how much a lot of people out there have had to overcome in their lives when it came to poverty and having simple material possessions.

This is the question that Barrett posed to people on Twitter.

Let’s take a look at some of the very interesting responses.

1. The real stuff.

It does taste better.

2. Never run out.

Always have a back-up.

3. Take care of those teeth.

You’ll be thankful later in life.

4. You know you can get it now.

No more worries.

5. My own space.

It makes a big difference.

6. Sounds pretty bad.

Roaches are awful.

7. This is huge.

Still have a long way to go on this one.

8. Constant noise.

Silence is golden.

9. That’s what wealth means to them.

No more stress.

10. Fancy pants.

Living the good life.

11. The essentials.

You need those basic things.

12. Peace and quiet.

And safety.

How about you?
