Thanks for your answer. The thing I'm trying to understand is how do you define the 101 in life? Is Internet a 101 in life? I believe so, but so is a car some may say. So are vacations. When I was asking what should only be accessible to rich people I wasn't talking about forbidding access to others. I meant what resources should not have incentives attached to them, what resources are considered pure luxury.

Have you seen Maslow's hierarchy of needs? It tries to address this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs It is, of course, just one idea but it is fairly well fleshed out so at least worth throwing in the pile when talking about things like this. Essentially full middle class-ness stops at self-actualization. If you can achieve that and all of the lower tiers, everything above and beyond is unnecessary. Wealth stops being about living when you tick all of those "boxes" and start spending on things that aren't really characterised by any of them. > I meant what resources should not have incentives attached to them, what resources are considered pure luxury. It might be one of those cases where it is easier to define what ISN'T rather than what is. Since everyone that isn't required is inherently a luxury, be it a $1 soda or a $3K+ plane ticket.
