Personally, I’d be pretty happy with an FAI that just let me appreciate what I already have more effectively. I know that I’m living in an awesome science fiction world relative to how things were in the 60s, not to mention how things were in the 1600s, but even though I remind myself of this on a regular basis I’m still not as ecstatically happy as I think I ought to be.
This morning I accidentally locked myself out of my bedroom after getting up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom. I waited several hours, trying to get some sleep on the carpet, before the manager for the apartment complex I live in came and unlocked my door for me. Lying down in my bed again, I realized more than I ever have in my life how awesome beds are, and this realization caused me to giggle with delight.
Being part of medieval recreation society helps with that. Apart from the fun of dressing up and fighting other people with swords for a few days on camp… you then get to go home to antibiotics, clean water and washing machines. :)

I thought you preferred sleeping on piles of coins?
