I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to word the title. What I mean is something that changed in your life for the better and you immediately started underappreciating it.

I got laser eye surgery a couple years ago and immediately got used to it and didn’t think about all the minor inconveniences that came with having glasses.

Similarly I bought a curved computer monitor because it seemed neat and after a couple hours it feels so insignificant I stopped really “feeling” anything.

    The “raise” I got that meant I wasn’t living paycheck to paycheck but it turns out healthy food is expensive

      Get raise, everything gets more expensive, rent goes up, back to paycheck to paycheck, repeat until death

        Yep, a “cost of living” raise is not a “raise”. I’m just making the same amount in today’s dollars.
