I like to cook and bake so those are kind of my hobbies. I cut everything out of my life when I was unemployed and that’s where the money obsession comes from. I don’t ever want to be homeless again. Money equals security to me. Plus lifelong depression means I don’t actually get happy about anything, except food. My goal is just avoiding pain.
No, do you?
How many bedrooms do I need to be a cat lady? Maybe I can find meaning here… I’m thinking 2, the second one is an extra 80k or so.
You’re a good person Bongles. Number goes up is my security blanket but you are right about trying things. Poverty makes me dull and I’ve trained myself to do nothing and spend nothing. I do cook though so that’s something.
Im on anti depressants my friend :) yay drugs! It has improved things. Meaningful? I don’t even know what that means.
I sold my etf last week. Maybe I should buy again. I’m supposed to buy a place to live though. Apparently that takes a lot of work and research and you have to hire multiple people to check that the other people aren’t lying too much and I’m tired. Buy shitty flat or buy nice flat?
Sure, why not Lem?
Meaningless number go up = security and not being homeless ever again. Unemployment taught me that money is the only thing that matters. So I’m terrified of letting go of it. My bank account is the only thing that has ever made me feel safe. This is not inhuman.
Which one?
That would depend at least in part on whether it was intentional. I would not judge anyone that way over an accidental door hit. If you called a woman a cunt then I would assume you are at least somewhat misogynist. Men sometimes refer to their friends as cunt, but only male friends, this is exclusively an insult for women and we are never spoken to this way in a friendly or joking manner
I wouldn’t do anything. Take your time away but don’t ask people like me, I have nothing to do. A hobby would be healthy but my bank account going up is my hobby.
I never compare myself to others. Interesting question. So no. Consistently happy? No, lifelong depression, the goal here is avoidance of misery, happiness is not an option.
I have antidepressants and you’re not wrong. I was also poor for a long time and convinced myself that I dont actually need anything that costs money. Hence the 6 figure bank account.
if you have no hope, then I don’t see the point in having good finances.
Guess you answered my question.
What if you think the whole system is going to collapse, or you hope it’s going to collapse, what is the financial advice for climate change meets trumpistan?
Im leaning towards this but the thing is that I don’t actually want to do anything. I have no desires aside from sit on couch and drink. There is nothing I enjoy aside from food and booze. I can do whatever I want, I’m incredibly lucky, and I just want to be be unconscious.
Dude I’m almost 50 and only rented. Irritating living situation is the norm for me. Saving 3k per month is kinda fun.
The shitty flats have been the same price for a decade, plus the goal here is to stop moving. I’ve rented too many places, just want a home.
As an Australian, the cunt thing is an internet meme, it’s absolutely gendered and normal people do not use it.
I remember this incident being pretty funny:
