Luxury is a necessity that begins where necessity ends
The act of upgrading a product from a Mazda to a Lexus SUV signifies a premium feature that comes with an increased cost; however, buying a Ferrari at a much higher price does not necessarily equate to better quality.

Luxury is defined as a necessity that starts where basic needs end, emphasizing self-gratification over social approval, although social signaling remains a fundamental aspect of luxury goods.
