how rich is "rich person" - because my relative scale is so bad that being in a car with heated seats feels very "rich person" even though it's more like upper-middle class (if I'm not mistaken)
if "rich person" is more like top 1%, I'm not sure there's anything I've done that's "rich person":
Go to Michelin starred restaurants. I'm too poor to justify going to these places but my mom likes to take me out for my birthday, and I really love food so I will inevitably agree after a very feeble protest.
I don't splurge much on clothes, technology, vehicles, food, etc...but every month I do get a professional massage (get your head out of the gutter ...totally non-sexual). Helps with all the muscle tension that builds up from daily stress from everything (work, life, anything). If you've never had one, I highly suggest trying it out at least once.

Buy sandwiches every week. In my defence, they're damn good ones!

wow!

I am amazed at how expensives sandwiches are these days. Even the cheap supermarket ones are no longer cheap.

this, too, is my weakness - good food is good food; I don't need nice presentation, wait staff, etc. - I just crave excellent food.

I bought a piece of outdoor furniture yesterday. The nice kind of outdoor furniture which won't immediately rot in the Pacific Northwest.
...but just one piece.

meanwhile 90% of Chinese people own their homes, and of those 80% own their home outright (no mortgage or other liens)

not sure we should consider home ownership "rich person" stuff, tbh - though it breaks my heart that this is what it has come to

Bit late but technically they don't own it, they lease it for max. 70 years and then it gets back into the hands of the community

I've tasted tea in a teahouse that would be over $1000 a pound.
Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 204d
I mean, to be fair a pound of tea is a LOT of tea by volume.
ZDL@lazysoci.al · 1 pts · 201d
It's a few months' supply, yes. I probably go through about five pounds a year.

I've lived on Queen Mary 2 for almost a year.
Granted, I was working aboard at the time, but still...

Buying my used car with cash. It's the single most expensive thing I've ever bought not counting rent or my degree.
I also drink lattes which is why I can't afford a home
