LUXURY GOOD: In general, a good (or service) that is not essential but makes like more enjoyable. Luxury goods are often more expensive and primarily purchased by people with more wealth and income.

In other words, as people receive more income, they devote an increasingly larger share of income to the purchase of luxury goods.
