" I take myself on vacation . Whenever I ’m on holiday , I do whatever I wanna do . I ’ll consecrate a cocktail at 9 a.m. to go with my breakfast if I want to . When I ’m on vacation , I do n’t look at the terms — I just do it . "
When Redditoru/Abbas_Nooraniasked the people ofr/AskRedditto share the"rich things"they do despite not being rich, my immediate answer was having a bidet. Granted, it’s an attachment — but still, it feels luxuriousto me. That said, some of the other responses weresorelatable (and impressive), especially when considering how expensive everything is nowadays. From having a garage fridge to investing, here are some of the “rich things” people who aren’t extremely wealthy do:
1.“My thermostat stays the temperature that’s most comfortable to me, and nothing will change that.”
2.“I don’t worry about prices when I’m grocery shopping. I just grab what I want and call it a day.”

" I bribe what I want and I try new stuff . I care to cook , and the prices wo n’t discourage me from that . "

3.“I buy two-ply toilet paper.”
4.“I have someone clean my house once a month. I never thought I’d have to hire someone for that, but I think it’s totally worth it.”

5.“I buy expensive, name-brand makeup. In my defense, it lasts much longer than drugstore products, and the quality is unmatched.”
6.“Once a year, I buy a premium car-cleaning package. They clean my car inside and out, including washing the interior with soap.”

7.“We have a garage fridge that’s full of all different kinds of beverages.”
8.“I sometimes buy name-brand cheese instead of the store brand.”

" I buy name - brand cheese this weekend because it was on sale , and I just made pizza with it . caliber ingredients really make all the remainder . "

9.“Every so often, I eat at restaurants that cost around $50 to $100 a person just to treat myself.”
10.“I actually buy small trash bags for the bins around the house. My whole family uses grocery bags in those bins, but I don’t like how they always rip at the bottom.”

11.“I don’t buy crappy tires, shoes, or mattresses. My advice is don’t cheap out on things that separate you from the ground.”
12.“I have Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and Disney+, and I don’t watch any of it. Just paying for the vibes.”
— u / AngryDerf
13.“I get my hair done. It’s the one expensive self-care thing that makes me feel beautiful, so I think it’s completely worth it.”
14.“I buy cashmere clothing for winter. I do normally have to limit myself to buying one piece of clothing a month, but it’s just so soft, warm, and comfy.”

15.“For long flights, I upgrade to business class. It’s so much better and so much more convenient.”
16.“I tip servers like I’m rich because I used to work in the restaurant industry, so I know all too well how brutal it can be.”

17.“I take myself on vacations. Whenever I’m on vacation, I do whatever I wanna do. I’ll order a cocktail at 9 a.m. to go with my breakfast if I want to. When I’m on vacation, I don’t look at the price — I just do it.”
18.“I just buy the six dollar bottle of coffee creamer even though I know damn well I’m on a three dollar bottle-type of budget.”

19.“I don’t buy a lot of expensive things, but one thing I do like to invest in is cologne. I like to smell nice, and I think it’s important.”
20.“I invest in stocks and shares. Even though the returns are so small for the pathetic amount I contribute, I figure it’s good to start somewhere.”

21.“I take my goofy ass pit bull to this super fancy dog groomer where he gets stuff like blueberry facials, massages, and all these other treatments. I found my dog wandering around a parking lot when he was a puppy, so now I give him the best.”
22.“I valet every chance I get. I absolutely hate trying to find parking, parking lots, getting out of parking lots, dealing with luggage if I’m traveling — the whole lot. Valet is worth it to me.”
— uranium / Lazyassbummer
23.“For me, in the UK, it’s having private dentistry. We have the option of state-provided dentistry, but I pay to go private. Everyone thinks I’m wild for that, but I like the service that I get, and I know that if there’s a problem, I can get promptly seen with the best care I can afford. I don’t have a high salary nor do I go on a lot of holidays, but I’ll happily spend the money for my dental health.”
24.“I have a towel warmer in my bathroom. It’s not the priciest thing, but I think it’s such a luxury, especially during the colder months.”
— u / Daegoba
25.“I honestly don’t pay attention to or care about how much gas costs.”
26.“I own expensive cars. I can afford the payments, but sometimes I do regret treating myself to such a high-budget vice.”
27.“One ‘rich person’ thing I do is that I live in a ‘luxury’ apartment in a fancy part of town. My car is one of the cheapest in garage, and my neighbors probably wonder why I even bother maintaining and cleaning it. I have to sacrifice some things, but I want to live comfortably.”
— u / Metallgesellschaft
28.“I only make about $50,000 to $60,000 a year, but I take international trips. Traveling is the stuff of life for me. I forego a lot of things so that I can save up to go on a big journey once a year.”
29.“I pay to enjoy the lounges at airports. You get comfy chairs, free alcohol, lunch, and a lot less riffraff.”
— u / Banditofbingofame
30.And lastly: “I use the FUCK out of paper towels.”
