What's your luxury?
 
The rich guys in Trump's cabinet who can't resist public money

The revelation that the US housing secretary, Ben Carson, and his wife selected a $31,000 dining set for his office at taxpayer expense has caused outrage.
Who on BE can match that? :lol:

So what's your luxury?

I buy tons of cake decorating supplies that I know I'll probably only ever use once - if at all. :unsure:

Car, for occasional use during the summer. We could have had two Carsonian dining sets.

Teenagers.

(And enough wine to cope with them.)

Our horses are eating Costco carrots this week instead of the usual Loblaws ones. They likely won't finish the enormous bag and some will have to be given away. The carrots are an indulgence but I saw them at Costco and thought "cor, strike a light guvnor, I aint never seen one so big"; the actual carrots are Costco sized, not just the bag.

I bought them without even looking at the price.

Power tools.

And beer but that maybe isn't a luxury.

Chanel No. 5 - not so popular now but I love it and it's the first counter I head for in airport duty free shops.

I used to head for Calvin Klein's Crave. I think I still have a bottle in the bathroom cabinet.

Current luxury - Lamb, Beef Tenderloin and Taxis. :lol:

Oh...and an expensive TV package (barely watched) but the only reliable way of watching UK football.

I would charter a 747 for my wife & I (just the two of us on the plane) to fly to the UK & back

with a weeks stay at the The Lanesborough hotel in London

Which one of you will fly it? Or one of you out, the other back. ;)

I'd never heard of that one.

I was just thinking about that but agree it's not a luxury. Especially with near-teenagers....
