Getting new clothes at Christmas from relatives. I don't know if that is exactly a luxury or the kind of answer you are looking for, but we never had a lot of money when I was in middle school. I went an entire year wearing the same pants everyday. The funny thing was my parents didn't even buy them for me. I got them for Christmas from my Grandparents. All the kids use to give me so much shit for wearing the same pants everyday. I always told them that I had 5 of the same pair which made me feel good inside and kind of made them ease off even though I know they didn't believe me.
从亲戚那里得到新衣服。我不知道这算不算是奢侈，或者是不是你问的那种类型，但是我上中学的时候我们家确实从来都没有很多钱。我曾经有一整年的时间，每天都穿着同一条裤子出门。最搞笑的是那条裤子还不是我爸妈给我买的。是我的祖父母圣诞节送我的。孩子们都因为我每天穿同一条裤子埋汰我。我一直都跟他们说，我是有五套一样的裤子，这让我心里能好受一点，也能让他们放我一马，尽管我知道他们不相信我。

I remember I fell on the school bus one day and the jagged floor cut a hole right in the knee cap and the panic that went over me was just insane. It was one of the worst feelings of my whole life because I knew that I didn't have any other pants to wear and that now all of the kids in my school were going to know that I only had 1 pair. Needless to say I could not wait for the last month of school to end.
我记得有一天我在校车上摔了一跤，地板把我裤子膝盖上划了个洞，当时我感到的恐慌简直可怕。那是我这辈子最糟糕的感受，因为我知道我没有别的裤子穿了，我知道现在学校里的所有孩子都会发现我只有一条裤子可以穿了。我只好苦苦等待学期最后一个月赶快结束。

When my paternal grandmother found out my brother (same mom, different dad) only had two pairs of pants that fit him for school that year she sent my mother money specifically to buy only him clothes. And when I'd spend my summers with my dad my grandmother would buy me and my brother new wardrobes for the school year (and plenty of school supplies for both of us) even though she had zero obligation to my brother. She refused to allow him to have no decent clothes for the school year, and she especially didn't want him to think he somehow deserved less than me just because his paternal family wouldn't do the same for him. She's been gone 15 years and he and I still talk about this.
我奶奶发现我兄弟（同父异母）上学只有两条裤子可以穿的时候，她特地给我妈妈打了一笔钱，让她专门用来给我兄弟买衣服。我自己夏天去陪爸爸的时候，我的祖母也会给我和我兄弟为新学年购置新衣服（以及不少上学用的东西），尽管她没有任何抚养我兄弟的义务。她不能允许我兄弟上学没有好衣服穿，并且她不希望我兄弟觉得因为他父亲那边不愿意为他买这些东西，他就不配拥有这些。我奶奶已经去世15年了，但我仍然会和我兄弟聊起这件事。

我们之前虽然有厕纸用，但是我奶奶也会攒一沓剪成方形的报纸——和分成单面的厕纸混着用，因为厕纸在东欧也是稀有物品。

I was going to write something similar. We had to crumple up the newspaper to make it softer, because we could rarely afford toilet paper. This was back in the 90s after the collapse if the Soviet unx.
我本来也想写点类似的。我们得把报纸揉成团好让它变软，因为我们几乎买不起厕纸。那是90年代苏联解体之后的事情了。

After growing up in a home where every unexpected problem was a financial emergency, my idea of wealthy became "I just want enough money that if something breaks I don't get anxiety about how to deal with it."
在我成长的环境里，任何未曾预料的问题都是一次财政危机，因此我对富裕的定义就是“我只希望能有足够的钱，这样如果什么东西坏了我就不用因为不知道怎么办而焦虑了。”

I just went through that this week. I blew up the transmission in my truck. As a kid that would’ve financially ruined my family, as an adult I just shrugged my shoulders and said “shit happens” as I ordered a new one. Really made me think how fortunate my wife and I are to be financially comfortable enough to handle large unexpected expenses.
我这个星期刚经历过一次。我卡车的变速箱坏了。小的时候如果发生这种事，我们家就破产了，但是现在长大了，我只需要耸耸肩，说一句“那咋整啊”，然后买个新的。这真的会让我思考，我和我老婆有多么幸运，能够拥有足够的财力来应付大额的突发开支。

Years later, I'm financially comfortable, but those lessons stuck. There was a homeless woman begging near the door of a restaurant I passed by.

I gave her the food, we talked for a little bit, and - when I got back to my car - I heard her shout, "THANK YOU!" after (I presume) she found the gift card.
我把食物给了她，然后我们聊了几句，然后——当我走回我的车上的时候，我听到她（我猜）在找到了那张礼品卡之后喊了一句，“谢谢你！”

My dad is still alive, but he's been "gone" for almost a decade now because of severe dementia. I sat in the car and cried after that, because I remembered the story about the little girl and the chips for the first time in decades, and it felt like my dad was sitting right beside me.
我爸爸今天还活着，但是他已经“离开我们”快10年了，因为他得了严重的老年痴呆。此后我坐在车里哭了，因为我几十年来第一次回忆起了那个小女孩和薯片的故事，我感觉好像爸爸就坐在我的身边一样。

I was homeless, then simply poor, for most of the my twenties.
我20多岁的时候，先是无家可归，然后是没钱。

The first time I went out to a sit down restaurant in nearly a decade felt like an unbelievable novelty. I had forgotten what it was like to simply sit down and let the staff do all the labor.
将近十年来我第一次坐在一家餐厅里吃饭的时候，感觉就像是难以置信的新奇经历一样。我已经忘了自己坐在那里，让工作人员帮我解决剩下的事情是一种怎样的感觉了。

I grew up super poor and NEVER ate out. When I was 13 and at a sleepover my friends parents took us to a restaurant for dinner I thought it was the fanciest place I had ever been so much so that I for some reason stole the thick heavy steak knife. Looking back it was a Denny's level local diner, but I will never forget that meal.
我小时候特别穷，所以从来没出去下过馆子。我13岁那年去朋友家过夜，朋友的父母带我们去餐厅吃完饭，我以为那是我这辈子去过的最上流的地方了，以至出于某种原因我偷了他们的一把结实厚重的牛排刀。现在想想看也只不过是当地的一家普通餐厅而已，但我永远也忘不了那顿饭。

I also was never allowed to have friends sleep over at my house because we didn't have enough food for the extra mouth. The summer between 7th and 8th grade my best friends mom figured that out and would send me home with grocery bags full of food she "didn't need anymore". What an amazing woman.
我还不能请朋友到我们自己家过夜，因为我们没有足够多的食物多喂一张嘴。7年级和8年级之间的那个暑假，我最好的朋友的妈妈意识到了这一点，于是她送我回家的时候就会装满一大袋子“用不着”的食物。真是个可爱的女人。

Yeah, this. I'm still slightly uncomfortable in a restaurant now despite being able to afford it easily. 12 bucks for one meal?! What if I don't like it??? And can these people please stop waiting on me, I'm stressed.
没错，就是这点。现在尽管我能很轻松地支付一顿饭，我仍然会在餐馆里觉得不太舒服。12美元点一道菜？我要是不喜欢呢？？而且这帮人能不能别在我身边等着了，我压力好大。

Me too. At work functions, we go to posh restaurants and internally I’m wincing at the prices. 49$ for pasta? That like groceries for 20 year old me for two weeks. 21$ cocktail—like wtf? And please stop coming around asking how im doing, I feel like enough of an imposter as it is
我也是。工作聚餐的时候，我们会去非常上流的餐馆，我盯着价格的时候内心里都是龇牙咧嘴的。49美元一盘意大利面？20岁的我都够吃两个星期的饭了。21美元的鸡尾酒——认真的吗？而且别走过来问我感觉怎么样了，我已经足够觉得自己配不上这个地方了。

Having the heating on. We used to go to bed in our sleeping bags in winter which was really cool back then, pretty depressing now
开着暖风。我们以前过冬的时候会钻进睡袋里睡觉，虽然当时感觉特别酷，但现在回忆起来只会觉得沮丧。

agree with this. the first winter after my parents divorced we visited my dad in NY (where I grew up). after the divorce, he couldn't afford to have the heat on, so we always put on two pairs of socks, an extra sweater, and extra blankets. I was 15, so I knew it was abnormal, but I helped him make it seem cool to my younger sisters.
我同意这一点。在我父母离婚之后的第一个冬天，我去纽约看望爸爸（我在那里长大）。离婚之后他连暖气也开不起，于是我们总是要穿上两双袜子，多穿一件毛衣，再多盖一件毯子。我当时15岁，所以我知道这不正常，但我还是帮他掩饰了一下，让我的妹妹们觉得这是一件很酷的事情。

despite that, still one of the best times I've had with him. during that winter he repeatedly encouraged me to keep up my painting and always told me they were great, even if they weren't. it's the reason I'm still painting 11 years from then.
虽然有过这样的事情，但那仍然是我和他度过的最棒的时光之一。在那个冬天他不断鼓励我坚持绘画，而且总是跟我说我的画很棒，尽管实际上没那么棒。因此在那之后过了11年，我仍然在坚持绘画。

When my grandma would come pick me up and spoil me. My parents didn't have much money and were addicts so when my grandma would come get me I would come back with new clothes, video games, toys, etc. I used to think my grandma was rich but she actually just had a stable income.
我奶奶把我接走，好好疼我的时候。我父母没什么钱，并且他们都是瘾君子，因此每次我奶奶来接我的时候，我都能带着新衣服，电子游戏，玩具之类的东西回家。我以前一直以为我奶奶很有钱，其实她只不过是有一份稳定的收入而已。

Lol, here it was actually the other way around; I always used to think that my grandma was poor because she was always very frugal and would always point out how expensive everything had become!
哈哈，我们家这里刚好是反过来的。我一直都以为我奶奶很穷，因为她总是很节俭，并且总是会埋怨东西变得很贵！

New clothes. Pretty much had to make everything last and while I'm not proud of it I did alot of shoplifting as young teen.
新衣服。我得绞尽脑汁让手头的一切东西都更耐用一点，并且尽管我不会感到自豪，但我年轻的时候确实从商店毛过不少东西。

I always look back and think how I really lucked out that the "dirty punk" look was super in when I was a teen. I basically based my whole style around it and people thought I was just being fashionable but I was just really fucking poor lmao.
现在回想起来，我觉得在我年轻的时候流行的是“脏朋克”风格的时尚真是太幸运了。我差不多就是按照这种风格穿衣服的，人们都以为我是特别时尚，其实我只是穷得叮当响哈哈哈哈。

I still compare cents differences in name brand vs. store brand vs. sale items; or do I really need this?
我现在仍然会比较大品牌，超市自有品牌和打折商品之间几分钱的区别；以及思考我是不是真的需要这个东西。

New clothes! I always had hand-me-downs from our more affluent neighbors. But for my birthday, my grandparents would sometimes take me out to but a new outfit or new shoes. Always a fun adventure!
新衣服！我之前一直穿的都是家境更好的邻居家过继过来的衣服。但是我过生日的时候，祖父母有时会带我去买一套新衣服或者一双新鞋。总是一次有趣的冒险！

These days I'm fortunate enough to just toss whatever I want in the cart and not even really think about it. Ends up eating a lot more healthy food that way as well. Obesity and poverty are so heavily lixed. It's hard to justify 5-6 dollars for a big thing of berries when you can get a shit ton of processed food for that price
现在我很幸运，可以想要什么就直接往购物车里扔，不需要考虑多少钱。结果我还能吃更多健康的视频。肥胖和贫穷之间的联系太紧密了。当你花5，6美元就能买到大量的预处理食品时，花同样的钱买一把浆果实在说不过去。

They never worked great, but I got pretty good at fashioning makeshift pads out of paper towels and toilet paper taken from public restrooms. Made me really sad years layer when I found out my mom had been doing the same thing.

I used to convince myself I was a "minimalist" and "didn't want to be vain." Really I was just poor. Now that I'm not struggling, I have been into good skincare and clothes that aren't rags. It's still hard to get over the guilt of wanting to have things without stains on them.
我一直都尝试说服自己是个“极简主义则”，“不想太虚荣”。其实我就是穷。现在我没那么穷了，我就可以购买好的护肤品，以及比破布强一些的衣服了。虽然现在我买上面没有脏东西的衣服的时候还是会感到愧疚。
