Luxury, delicacy, conductive of sumptuous living
[A to B:] The only reason why we can live in luxury is because of his family's support.
[C seems to second that:] Luxury, delicacy, conductive of sumptuous living.
Another line from a translation of an anime series. There's probably a mistake, or I don't understand something.
Maybe, it should be "Luxury, delicacy are conducive to sumptuous living."?
(though, even so it doesn't make much sense to me.)

It doesn't make any sense as written. My guess would also be that "conductive" should be "conducive". Your suggested sentence does vaguely make sense, but probably isn't the optimum translation.
