this is the kind of thing that makes this whole topic hard to think about and relate to, for me. like i think i a little bit get it. it is obscene. not just a little obscene. really obscene. i could see someone reading this thread and fucking hating my guts

what I’m saying is: if someone gave me $100,000 right now (age 31), it would change my life, and I am not “poor” by any reasonable definition. it’s a little obscene seeing someone treat that amount as having primarily emotional significance.

money is literally life and death and for me to just be like "uwu but i have feelings about my parents" is... i get it, okay, it's not uh. not ideal. but it's also the actual situation i'm in right now and nobody benefits from me pretending otherwise

i literally have no idea how to relate to that at all. it gets tied up with all this bullshit i soaked up from the effective altruists about the "best" way to donate money. i have no idea what to do with it other than to keep staying alive myself
