Luxury will be something a lot more than that. Is about extravagance. About indulgence. About waste.
I think in the article, my wants fall within comfortable range be it at higher or just level of that band.
The problem i feel for most locals are the needs for comfortable lifestyle is presented in dissatisfaction manners. They cried for more instead of being part of the change (improve). There is high dependency on authority to resolve their want. There is a price to pay to achieve that which they are unwilling to pay for.
Based on your definition, you should have a car. Peak hour commuting will entail some level of discomfort or "pain". Personally I can accept some discomfort if it save cost. And it not just physical discomfort, but psychological discomfort as well. I suspect the latter is more difficult to tolerate for most Asians. It is important to develop a thick skin. Discussion like this, helps .
Like CF, I dislike waste. Even if I am not the one paying. In fact I abhor consumerism and fashion consciousness.

I sense that value investors usually have these kind of unconventional non-secular "boring" outlook in life We are usually quite clear about what are needs and wants but personally I think we should also balance with aspirations and not be deemed as scrooges
My friend's advise for me to buy a car when I was reluctant is that parents would love to see their children have their first car and take them for a spin. That option only exist when they are still alive.
