What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

Everyone will have different standards of what counts as a luxury item, especially if they live in different parts of the world where certain things aren’t available or are harder to come by than in others.

Personally, I would consider a smartphone to be a luxury item, and the one that I can’t live without anymore because of how much of a crutch it has become in my life. Among so many features, it helps me keep connected with friends and family, research current events, plan out my days/weeks/months, and navigate the world around me. I don’t need to remember phone numbers because it handles that for me, which can be a good and bad thing. It can also, as a recent occurrence has reminded me, be used to remind me of friends birthdays.

I’m sure if push came to shove I could figure out how to live without a smartphone again, but it would not be a pleasant transition. Although, the world would probably seem quieter when I stop getting bombarded with notifications.
