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.
Hi djdarren, thanks for your helpful comment! Unfortunately this community has a rule that only women are permitted to comment or post, so please refrain from commenting further.
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).

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.

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.
I mean, to be fair a pound of tea is a LOT of tea by volume.
