Afford is a strange word to use in the same context as the word luxury.
I can afford the phone, but do not have the luxury of a high disposable income. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive.
- pessimizer 13y agoDepending on your definition of the word "afford." I, personally, can't afford luxury items if I suspect that my bank accounts will, within the next year or two, amount to less than the cost of that luxury item.
- ZoF 13y agoEhhh, What? Afford is a perfectly applicable word to use in the same context as luxury... In fact it is among one of the most applicable words. Oftentimes the determining factor when purchasing a luxury item is whether it is affordable... Your personal definition of "afford" might be different then the Oxford dictionaries definitions, but then we're talking semantics.
