I don't disagree there are people who are capable of it, some people enjoy the simple life and I agree with your point that different people have different expectations.
I don't think we will never be able to understand each other. It's just seeing from a different perspective. It's not necessarily ego related. Like we are used to having toilets, what if you had to downgrade your lifestyle to the point where you don't have a toilet in your house, and you have to poop by the beach in the open? It's quite hard to do right? Maybe that's not a good example, but I'm just trying to illustrate how it feels to have luxuries you've had your entire life taken away. If you have kids in the future you'll probably also want them to enjoy the same luxuries you had if not better. Maybe a better example would be if your parents only made joint total of 1.5k a month, how would your life change. To people in that bracket, they would say, if I had 100k I would retire.
Anyway, this is totally off topic lol.
Your example of shitting and toilet is the exact reason why I say you and I will never understand each other. You see luxuries as something that you need and something that you desperately need in your life and its hard to live without it.I don't think we will never be able to understand each other.

Your luxury is a need, my luxury is just what it is - luxury. My needs are my needs. And that's where the problem is, for people who are used to luxuries, their luxuries become a need and poof, all hell breaks loose.
Btw, I've experienced living in PPRT and in high end condos as my life progresses, so I might not be the right person for you to say that changes in life and lifestyle is hard....
