Does luxury goods improve or reduce our quality of life?

Luxury has always been a symbol of the life of the rich, but many people also want to own their own luxury, and occasionally buy a good bag and a good bottle of perfume for themselves who have worked hard for a year. In the past two years, I have changed two jobs, the working environment I contacted is very different, and I have different understandings of the concept of luxury goods. Personally, I have no concept of luxury goods. First, because the economic conditions are not up to standard, and second, because I am not interested in pursuing these things, but with my life,

My first job was in the communication equipment manufacturing industry. I face office clerks and some friends who are engaged in engineering. They never care about luxury goods. Occasionally, one or two ladies who love beauty or have good family conditions are keen on buying, but they have never discussed luxury goods with us. Some people even think that "my own salary is just enough. What is there to waste?" Even if you don't buy it, people who meet the same conditions will say "yes". .

My second job is completely different. I do wedding photography in Dubai. The economic conditions of the guests who come here to take pictures are naturally good. After some guests leave, colleagues will talk about what watches and skins they bring. There is nothing wrong with them coming from China, so they are keen to buy some luxuries in life. In Dubai, not everyone is as rich as everyone says, and the salary is not high relative to the price level. Even the living conditions of migrant workers are not as good as those in China, and their wages are basically the same as those in Shenzhen, but the consumption concept of colleagues here is much worse. Some colleagues even scrimped and saved to the point of being stingy, but they used a full set of skin care products from luxury brands with a monthly salary. Even if they can't afford a new luxury bag, they will be satisfied with the discount next season, shouting that they have no money, but you see his sunglasses are the same brand of the star.

Dubai has the largest shopping center in the world, and some luxury brands are discounted all the year round, which is much cheaper than domestic ones, so some people are looking at it and want to buy it. I have never used these things before, but I will buy one or two because of the discount season. I wonder if luxury goods are worth the price. Rich people don't care, but most people think it's not worth it. Besides, I used to be a person who didn't use perfume. However, when I went to Victoria's Secret to buy underwear two days ago, I saw a very small amount of perfume. The price is not too expensive. The definition of luxury goods should include perfume. The small one is 98 cents, and the RMB is about 180, which is 100ml. At that time, I bought three when I bought two for one, and I put a little on myself after washing that day. It's that prom perfume. After painting, I lay in bed and smelled it. Sometimes in the daytime, I will draw my wrist with a little pleasure brought by raising my hand inadvertently. Victoria's Secret This perfume is the same as her underwear. It's so close that only I can smell it, but I like the feeling very much. Sometimes perfume can be smelled by itself, just like beautiful underwear.

Then I bought a Swarow pendant. As we all know, the cheap one is 1000 RMB. There is really a feeling that jewelry belongs to women. I don't wear these things every day. Sometimes clothes are taken out when you are in a good mood. These things I bought are not expensive. A bottle of 500ML perfume can last for one or two years, and an Armani lipstick can also last for two years. When you buy these things, you haven't reached the point where you need to scrimp and save. Luxury goods are necessities for the rich. For us ordinary people, we can buy one or two to improve our living standards, but luxury goods lose their meaning without eating soil. Just as some people reward themselves for a hard year, they encourage themselves, not the vanity obsession that drags them down.
