  • Having sane, honest, intelligent people in your life.

  • one I think about a lot: having abundant hot water (for cooking, showers, baths, cleaning, etc.)

    and echoing what others have said, having abundant potable water.

    I also haven't ever experienced a famine in my life - I have experienced more food security than most generations before me. (For me the worst case experiences were eating food that was thrown away, not eating weeds from the yard because my belly hasn't had any food in a week.)

    • Yep, it's like when your hot water packs in, you realise how useful it is. Cold showers are unbearable. Washing up is a nightmare without hot water. It's something we really take for granted

  • A lot of recipes online take it for granted that you have access to a wide variety of ingredients and ethnic stores. I live in a small town with one small Hispanic grocery and ordering stuff online is expensive.
