I’m shouldn’t have ice cream due to my Type 2 diabetes, but once in a while, I stop at Mc Donalds and get myself a McFlurry with M&M’s. I get a bit sick later, but I find it worth it.

    They are using it in a different sense. Not that they are considered luxury goods by being expensive and associated with higher socioeconomic standing, but that they are a frivolity which is not necessary and which has tangible costs that they feel are justified due to pure pleasure.

      Yeah but new socks are necessary when the old ones are worn out, and honestly, I understand indulging in an ice-cream once in a while but make it something worth it instead of McDonald’s sundae…
