What do you do in your life that adds a little luxury? I’ll go first.

For me, it’s hiring a house cleaner & doing grocery delivery. I hate the grocery store & I grew up with a monthly cleaner so since my very first job I’ve always hired someone monthly. In the last year though I went up to twice a month.

Grocery delivery - here we have an app called Dumpling and I use the same shopper every time. Way better than Instacart and cheaper too
Mani & pedi 2x/month
Brazilian wax every 4-6 weeks
Forvr Mood candle subscription
Fresh flowers every 2 weeks
Dry cleaning pick up & delivery (don’t need this as often now)
Peloton
Pre-Check & Clear
Upgraded to AA Platinum - I fly enough that it just makes sense

Coffee subscription. I have beans delivered within 48 hours of roasting. It’s $70 a month, so not breaking the bank. But it feels luxurious in the mornings and has been a great way to start the day.
But as with all luxuries over time it now just *is*, and I can’t ever go back. So I guess it’s crossed over in to “necessity?”

I am kind of interested in online grocery or having someone deliver my groceries too because I also hate grocery shopping haha.

I'm considering doing it tbh

Man y’all got money!
I used to do a massage and facial subscription, but it wasn’t useful anymore.
I do a food subscription because yes I too hate grocery shopping but not enough to do Instacart because I found that they get my food wrong too much.
Other than that it’s basic shopping, providing a roof over my head (bc that’s luxury these days) anything else tbh would be figuring out if I can fit it in my budget. (Travel, hair, mani pedi, facial)

Selfcare- regular mani/pedi and facials
Bi-weekly home cleaning service
Laundry & dry cleaning
Luxury apartment with home office
Luxury car
Global entry&clear (but free through Amex PL)
Luxury travel accommodations
Usually fly premium economy or business/first class
I used to have Equinox and P/T but think $1,400/mo on gym&p/t was just too much (I live in NYC)
