How much luxury in life is enough to satisfy a person?
In today’s era, the word luxury is associated with wealth and fame.
It is believed that the more wealth a person has, the more luxury he or she will have.
Isn’t it?
If you ask this question to a small child, the answer will be that luxury in life means big cars, expensive clothes, and shoes, and many expensive options for traveling and eating out.
If you ask the same question to an older person, they will say that luxury in life means every comfort that makes life easier.
As a person ages, the definition of luxury also changes.
That could be why a famous Hindi poet described four stages of life and mentioned four topics of interest to those four.
Adolescence, childhood, youth, and old age, toys, lovers, positions, and attaining salvation.
And these have been described as their topics of interest, respectively.
Do you also think this is the definition of luxury in your life?
And are you able to enjoy this luxury?
Is it necessary to have money to lead a luxurious life? Or is there any way by which you can enjoy a lavish life even without cash?
In this article, we will discuss 5 luxuries of life that we can enjoy without spending a penny.
Trust me; the luxuries we will discuss here are the ones that money can’t buy.
I hope that you will also agree with me that we are not aware of the actual explanation of luxury.
The 5 Luxuries of Life
As I promised you, I will be talking about 5 luxuries that money cannot buy.
Once you know about these five luxuries that we are going to discuss, I am sure you will also accept that the real luxuries are not those that we pretend to have but those that give us real joy and the true value of life.
I am talking about the five luxuries of life that every human being wants to have.
Expressing them or not is a totally different issue.
These are:
Time, Health, Calm Mind, Slow Mornings, and a Family Full of Love.
Comment below to let me know how many luxuries out of these five you already own.
Let’s now discuss them one by one in detail and see how these five things make our lives luxurious, and that too without any money.
Time
Friends,
If you have all the comforts of the world but don’t have time to enjoy them, what is the use of having them?
Does it make sense? No.
In fact, this is very common in today’s society.
Everyone has a big TV in their home, an excellent sound system, and automatic appliances in the kitchen, but we only have time to use them.
And most importantly, I am not just talking about these modern facilities here.
The worst situation is when we don’t have enough time for our parents, children, and our partners.
If we don’t have moments to enjoy and cherish with our loved ones, then what will money do?
It won’t be of any use.
And believe me, friends, once time is gone, you can’t bring it back, even if you want to.
No wealth in the world can buy that ticket again to see your child grow up in front of your eyes.
Watching your children grow up is one of the biggest luxuries in the world.
And trust me, only some in today’s fast-paced world own this luxury.
You may buy many materialistic things with money, but you can never bring back the time when your parents used to feed you lovingly by making you sit on their laps.
If you have time to sit for a few minutes along with your parents, then consider that you have one of the most expensive luxuries in the world.
The same applies to your life partner.
If you two have a few moments of conversation every day, you are among the people who can afford the luxury of a great bond among couples.
And it is because of the luxury of the time.
Health
The second and most crucial luxury item in the world is health.
Yes!
It is rightly said that “Health is Wealth”.
Few of us also have heard the notion, “Healthy mind lives in a healthy body.”
Whenever someone falls sick, money holds no importance for that person.
The only goal of an unhealthy person is to get out of bed as soon as possible.
The one who is suffering from any disease is ready to spend any sum of money which he or she has collected by working hard throughout life.
It is said that money can buy you medicines, but it is impossible to buy good health with money.
That is why we should always be thankful to God if we are enjoying good health.
We are amongst a few of those who are enjoying this utmost luxury.

Peace of Mind
Peace of mind is essential for staying physically and emotionally healthy.
The above two luxuries, Time and Health, are not possible to experience if we are not filled with peace of mind.
In today’s fast-paced world, tension is natural.
But when that tension starts affecting one’s personal and professional life, it can prove fatal.
Then, no matter how much money you have, no matter how many materialistic luxuries you own, nothing will feel good to you.
In the 21st century, many meditation centres have opened all over the world, which can help you achieve peace of mind.
You will find hundreds of videos on TV and YouTube that teach you new tricks for calming your mind.
If you don’t believe in screen time, please stay away from negative people to maintain peace within yourself.
Because such people will not let peace come into your life even after your millions of efforts.
Our decision-making capabilities work perfectly when we have a peaceful mind.
That is why we must have this luxury, peace of mind.
And those who have this luxury are definitely very lucky.
Slow Morning As Luxuries of Life
If your morning is stress-free, tension-free, and refreshed, then it is a luxury—a great luxury indeed.
And let me tell you that not everyone is as blessed as the person who has the benefit of a worry-free morning.
You don’t need to have money to avail this luxury.
You may also have a wealthy neighbor, but every morning, you hear the sound of quarrels from his house.
There are many whose morning starts with arguments.
It would not be the start of a day someone expects.
I am not telling you that a slow morning means getting up late from your bed or pretending to be lazy.
It simply means positively starting your day.
On a positive note.
Waking up early in the morning, doing exercise or going for a walk, admiring the sight of nature, coming back home, taking a shower, meditating for some time, and then sitting with the whole family and having a good breakfast.
After that, get on with your work. Does anyone not expect a day to start like this?
This is what I mean by slow morning.
Family Full of Love
Believe me, all those who are married will know the true meaning of this luxury.
If all the members of your family respect each other, love each other, have affection for each other, and trust each other, then you are definitely fortunate.
If there are no differences between your family members and there is no animosity of any kind, then you are the owner of complete luxury.
But the irony is that, in today’s world, very few families are able to afford this luxury.
First of all, families are already tiny, nuclear families are prevalent, and if there is no coordination even among those 3-4 people, then it is a very disappointing thing.
In today’s era, every family member has his own view on any aspect, which is why most people are not able to accept this luxury for a long time.
