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

Replying to @aburisotto and @QiaochuYuan

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.

I enjoyed reading your honesty. I had a boyfriend who confessed weeping after a few months together that he was a trust fund child & lived off interest. Sooo much guilt. It made him do stuff with the money like give it away before he had really found the most useful holistic uses

He was so riddled with guilt poor guy. Heavy thing to unpack. And not many ppl to help him because it just triggered so much jealousy around him. Good luck w finding your dignity & independence

and

If you want independence why don't you respectfully return the money and thank your parents for their kindness? Or use it to build a business and pay them back after making profit? Just giving money away won't make you feel more useful. You're overthinking this.

If you want to distance yourself from being seen as spoiled, then act rationally and put the money to practical use.
