McDonald’s.
Growing up quite poor made this a luxury item. We lived with our aunt and uncle & their 3 kids in a small mobile home in Michigan. Later, they upgraded it to a larger, two-piece manufactured home with more bedrooms but even so, it was still two to a room and an hour+ bus ride to school every day. There wasn’t money for lunch tickets (usually), and my haircuts were done by my aunt.
Can't believe people still fall for this obvious data collection bot.
If MMO-C didn't get money from its owners, it'd have been banned years ago
-Cable television. I only got to watch MTV (back when they played music) at friends' homes or from the hotel room when my family was on vacation.
-Sony Discman. These used to be over $200 back in the late 80's and early 90's. Back then, that was a lot of money. Equivalent to about half a months rent on a 1 bedroom apartment.
Car toys - and it might not have been a luxury but I kept my mouth shut and never told my relatives that I wanted them so much
they always got me the exact toys I never wanted - when I told them 'don't get me that' they bought it for me - doing the opposite of my request
Back to car toys - now I'm an adult and it doesn't 'feel' the same - I can get them myself but I no longer have any interest
Grew up middle class, and my dad loves his toys (motorcycles, boats) but I always thought you were rich if you owned two same generation consoles like a N64 and a playstation, If you had a Game Gear (which i ended up getting for christmas), If you had an "exotic" console (Sega CD, Jaguar, Sega Saturn, 3DO or CDi), if you had a swimming pool or a double barreled Super Soaker.

I'd say real friends
As a child, I wanted a door with a magnetic lock so that no one could break into my room whenever they wanted.
When I was growing up, going to the movies was a luxury.
when all else fails, read the STICKIES.
Getting take away was one I could remember. Maybe why I get so much now ..
Formal/fancy dresses. I was the middle child of 3 girls and I rarely got a full dress/gown from scratch for formal events like weddings, sweet 16s, homecoming, et cetera. My mother would alter existing ones my older sister had used or make a new one from scratch. My younger sister was too small to share a dress/alteration. They are pretty expensive for young girls so I definitely understood why I couldn't get a new dress that often. Bit of a luxury when I did. I kept them actually for decades too.
