Everything on the list is inherently a good thing. Some of them are mitzvos, some are huge conveniences, they all make life more pleasant. That makes them good. But not everyone can afford every good thing. Those of us who cannot afford something should not pretend that we wouldn’t want them. That is what we call in English “sour grapes”, from Aesop’s story, the Fox and the Grapes. Rather let us be honest and admit that we would like those things, but we have higher priorities for our limited resources, and let us be happy for those who either have more resources than us, or whose priorities are different from ours.
