Could be true, although I look at it more from a personal level. An annual trip to Disney World is part of our lifestyle. A summer vacation is part of our lifestyle. Several other smaller trips during the year is part of our lifestyle. Having to give up - or sacrifice - those things would be a significant change to our lifestyle. Are they luxuries? Sure. We realize that and greatly appreciate that we are able to do those things regularly. But giving them up would still be a sacrifice.
