Why people say there's a rich luxury life in Pakistan?

Ask Pakistan

I rarely feel any luxury here in my last 5 years living in Pakistan's Armed Forces community, despite being loaded and traveling across various Pakistani cities.

As a Dual National, my conclusion still remains that Pakistan is just for visiting, not for living. It feels the same as what it was in 2001, like nothing changed or improved.

In North America, life was so easy. Everything was walkable/ accessible by public transport, I never had to drive anywhere or deal with road traffic or beggars tapping my windows every time. Nobody turned my Internet off for Muharam or random protests. There were free big public libraries for relaxing, I didn't have to go find a bookstore. Self checkouts everywhere, and mostly everything was digital and easy (like just open a bank account online). I never felt any need to get a maid or cook, there were always halal meal service and delivery apps too. There was a mosque nearby for even women to attend easily. Our Tim Hortons was a relaxing place, not a place where they play such irritating loud music like the one that recently opened here in Pakistan. Here even the brand new icecream parlour turned me away saying they didn't have electricity lmao. And about proper healthcare, I suppose even that isn't available in Pakistan? Why even a millionaire like Naseem Shah had to go all the way to London for treatment?
