What qualifies as luxury? And no, it isn't about money

Your link properly define the meaning of luxury. For Luxurious life a man must have proper time for relaxing without any disturbance. He must need to take proper sleep and he free to take their own decision. That all makes a luxury life. Even a people who does not have much money, they can accept all these thing.

Having plenty of time in hand  or Having enough sleep are also Luxuries. The difference is how effectively we utilize these luxuries makes a big difference.

Yes @ Rambabu

In modern day " The Luxury " Means according to people is that having a lots of money. In race of earning more and more money they forget to utilize these thing in their life properly. Its make a Difference.

For some Luxury means having Villas, Modern cars so on. But for some Luxury is that which enables you to have a life sans Health problems.  For such people "Health is Wealth."It varies from person to person. Moreover, my post clearly says that these Luxuries are not associated with Money.

Yes it varies from person to person. According to me luxury means spent my time with my friends and live freely without any disturbance.

Luxury, though it is related to something expensive, it also refers to those which give you a great comfort and joy. To experience it, you need a peaceful mind. When the mind is peaceful and you have the Freedom to enjoy every moment, your whole life will become a luxury.

Very true. There is nothing like possessing a peaceful mind. There is no luxury superior than a life sans ailments.

Generally, we relate luxury to money which is common measure for all things.  So possessing and using things that are costly and hard to buy are termed luxury. Luxury also means thjings that we can do without unlike necessaries of life that we must get even by borrowing.  The link defines luxury in non financial terms. so being lucky in any respect is luxury. You get a sound sleep. This is luxury. You have good health. This is luxury. You have plenty of time at your disposal. This is luxury.  You have more freedom to act as you like. This is luxury.   In short anything that you have worth envy by others is luxury.  Thius Onida TV- Owners pride, neigbor;s envy- is luxury.

Exactly. The link is very clear that the luxuries mentioned in the article are not related to money.

And being able to participate in a Form like this is also a kind of luxury.

True. A luxury that enables the members to meet connoisseurs like you.

Everything that is available in excess than its normal requirement is a luxury. Both the beggar and king can experience luxury; it varies in its intensity but not of its kind. 

The luxuries always need not be related with money. Having a good health is a luxury that can be earned not by spending Millions. To have good health one need to strive by changing a few life style habits. This requires no capital investment. For these luxuries one need not invest money. Your only investment is a strong will.

In the common parlance luxury is associated with what money can buy. luxury is also a state of mind in the sense that if one has affordability one is comfortable and feels proud of the ability to afford the best. 

We are interested in luxuries not related to money. These luxuries don't need any financial investment. Your investment is Will to earn followed by perseverance. That's all.

As per my view Luxury means be freely, cool attitude like king, no tension. Just getting enjoyed.

The luxury you mentioned needs investment. The thread says luxuries without  involving money. For example Having good health is a luxury. Your investment here is just determination to have that luxury.

I enjoy all the luxuries mentioned by Mr Ramakrishnan. I will strive to use it as effectively as humanly possible.

Truly, being able to participate in these quality forum topic's & conversations is a luxury. In this thread alone we have had diverse & extensive views of what luxuries are. Wonderful & Insightful thread.

And the important point participation on forums opens flood gates to knowledge, a luxury that costs nothing.
