I was wandering through Sears before Christmas. I'm not really a 'material' person; a friend once said my apartment in the sky fit me because I'm a bohemian...and I retain a lot of that simplicity in my current living space.
But omg I could get all material real quick like. I saw a fridge I wanted SO much. I mean, it looked beautiful to me. I opened the door and these lovely blue lights illuminated this amazing pristine space where I could imagine all sorts of lovely frozen products, fresh produce, canned beverages, even MILK.
I am currently using a larger dorm type fridge. I mean, it's just me, and I haven't tried saving up for a better one because it's amazing what you can get used to.
And a washer/dryer. My stackable needs new parts and I can't find the model number because the previous owner nearly built it in and I can't get to the back of it. The washers and dryers available are AMAZING. I can't imagine washing and drying my clothes so quickly and efficiently.
When I win the lottery I will have all the latest gadgets: appliances and computers and TVs and game systems. I will have a small movie theater with the most amazing sound system and the latest greatest computer because I'll be able to afford my own techie to set it all up.
I suppose if I win the lottery I'll need to decide if I want to live in a cottage far away from it all or if I want all the above mentioned goodies. Of course, if I won the lottery I wouldn't have so much need to get away from it all. Maybe I could combine a bit of both.
Just consumerist musings. Luxury: maybe I could get used to it.
