Thinking you need more money does not mean you're greedy though.
For real. I have a lot of problems right now, and there's not a single one of those problems that can't be solved with an adequate amount of money.
I, like I think a lot of people, fantasize about winning the lottery not because I'm desperate to live in a mansion or to have a $500k sports car in my driveway, but because I dream of watching all my problems absolutely evaporate before my eyes.
I have a disability and I'm a student so I have zero physical or mental energy to have a job next to my almost full time study. I used to just be broke all the time. I found out there's a city government fund for people exactly like me, and it honestly so fucking crazy what that extra 300 euros a month does. It's not just that I can afford necessities and something fun once in a while but it gives so much peace of mind. One of my cats was sick a few months ago and I could just take her to the vet and have her blood work done without having to stress about it.
xactly. Any other problems are usually self made or if not then the money still can ameliorate them greatly. Like being crippled. Better to have a nice house, someone to come clean, with stair lift and such than to be on the streets with a tiny tim crutch.
What are some of these problems, if I may ask?
Probably things like living paycheck to paycheck. Needing a new washing machine or some other device but not being able to afford that yet. Not being able to have your car repaired or buy a car so you have to use public transport and walk long distances to get to your work.
I mean that's what I imagine. A little money would make those problems go away. But when your paycheck only covers your rent, bills and food, you never get to save up for things.
I mean I can imagine those things as well :) But I was still interested in the specific person and not some abstract possibilities :)
Ah, I get it. Don't mind me then, I'm someone else.
Hello someone else, I'm Azzu
Hi hungry, I'm dad. Hehe.
You're right, I could really go for an evil toast right now
Thank you for your humor. I appreciate it in these dark times. I hope you are doing well and your mouth is filled toast.
How are the times dark?
Find the other people who don't want to have problems and solve your problems together.
Easy to say
In theory it's one lemmy submission away
