How to Live a More Luxurious Lifestyle

Many of us dream of incorporating a little luxury into our lifestyle, but unfortunately, it’s very expensive to do so. Contrary to what some may tell you, however, you don’t need to have a full-blown lifestyle change to have luxury. In truth, luxury is more of a mindset than a lifestyle as it can mean different things to everyone. If you want to add a little pizazz to your life, then you’re in the right place. In this article, we’ll teach you how to live a more luxurious lifestyle while you’re still on a budget.

What Does Luxury Mean to You?

Not only is a lifestyle change a difficult task on its own, incorporating what’s considered luxury makes it even harder. It’s not something you can simply jump into. First off, you need to think about what luxury means to you. For some, it can mean buying a high-quality sports car, or maybe a luxurious living room, while others invest in more expensive appliances for their kitchen. There’s no right or wrong answer in this scenario, so take as much time as you need to think things through.

Prioritise Quality of Quantity

If there’s one thing a more luxury lifestyle always entails, it’s most certainly quality. Having more of something isn’t always the best thing. The more you have, the more potential clutter you could have. Not to mention, it’s easy to lose track of everything simply because there’s too much. A luxurious lifestyle is centred around quality of quantity. Quality items have a far longer life span than ones that are on sale or have a lower price.

Sure, the price is typically high, which can cause some concern. However, they’re well-worth the price when it comes to making your lifestyle more luxurious. If it’s the price you’re worried about, there’s a way you can go about this without dipping into your personal funds. You can take out a personal loan instead. Utilising personal loans are very flexible as they can be used for just about anything you can think of. Before applying, make sure your credit score is high, so you can secure as much money as you can.

Use Discounts Whenever Possible

You may be thinking that looking for discounts is contradictory to a luxurious lifestyle. However, if you can score a good deal on a high-quality investment, then you have an advantage many people wish they had. This is especially beneficial if you’re someone on a budget. Shopping at secondhand markets is also a great way to find products that typically cost thousands.

Make Restaurant Grade Meals Instead of Eating Out

When most people think of luxury living, they usually think about going to five-star restaurants. Although going to them is certainly worth a trip, it’s not exactly economical or realistic. The truth is that you can easily cook gourmet meals these restaurants offer while also having double, or triple, the portions. All you need to do is look up the recipe of your favourite meals you get out, purchase high quality ingredients, and get cooking.

Sunseeker Superhawk 55 Shines At Sea

The Superhawk 55 has a top speed of 38 knots

Sunseeker International has revealed photography of its new Superhawk 55 in the Mediterranean, where the British builder’s new Performance series model showcased its performance and range of social and entertainment options. The Superhawk 55’s world premiere was staged at Boot Dusseldorf in January and the model will next appear at the Venice Boat Show from 31 May – 4 June.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D11-IPS950 engines matched with a hull form designed for the IPS propulsion system, the Superhawk 55 is capable of thrilling performance with “unparalleled agility”, according to Sunseeker, which says the CE Category A yacht has a potential top speed of 38 knots.

A spectacular updating of Sunseeker’s iconic Superhawk series, the 55 has an overall length of 56ft 2in and weighs 26 tonnes at half load. Conceived in response to the current demands for open day boats, the full-walkaround model features an open-plan arrangement and a full-beam cockpit.

The yacht starts with a large, clean open swim platform and a remarkably well concealed garage door that drops to reveal space for a Williams MiniJet. Up a couple of steps, the aft cockpit can make full use of the yacht’s 16ft 2in beam due to twin pantograph doors adjacent to the helm allowing forward access.

The aft half of the island sunpad can fold upwards to reveal storage for water toys like Seabobs, while covered L-shaped sofas positioned on each side of the cockpit can move diagonally aft and inwards to complete seating around the cockpit table.

Concealed appliances are integrated into the feature wet bar, while there’s also the option of a rise-and-fall TV. The finishing details are impressive, with overhead and in-deck LED lighting making a striking statement together with beautiful stainless-steel accents.

The L-shaped sofas can slide towards the table

The central, three-seat helm offers the skipper and companions panoramic views and a console complete with dual display screens, charging pads and chrome multi-purpose dials.

Pantograph doors on each side offer protection from the elements or access to the foredeck. The bow area can be set up with two lounging areas fore and aft of a pop-up table or the forward section can slide aft to join form one very long triple sunpad.

The interior has an exceptional 7ft of head height in the lower lounge and galley, with natural light flooding in through a large, glazed roof with impressive lighting details.

The forward VIP and master stateroom each have an en-suite bathroom and complete a remarkable lower deck for what Sunseeker has described as the “ultimate open day boat”.

Full-beam master suite

“With the spirit of Sunseeker’s original Superhawk series, this 55ft performance yacht is steeped in Sunseeker heritage but re-imagined for the owners of today,” said Sean Robertson, Sales and Marketing Director at Sunseeker International. “The Superhawk 55 is the ultimate boat for day time cruising, long weekends and extended trips away.”

Sunseeker is represented in Hong Kong by NextWave Yachting and in the GCC countries by Sunseeker Gulf.
