The one definitive identifier of financial stability bordering on luxury, to me, is how ever-present paper towel is in any home.

We grew up poor and paper towel was brown stuff that we found in public bathrooms and at gas pumps.

Now we have absorbent and clean paper towel on the counter almost all of the time.

I can tell if the bank is getting near empty, or that there is some big expense coming by the presence, or lack thereof, of paper towels on our counter.
