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

it's incredibly fucked up that i could change the lives of like a dozen people if i gave this money away. someone posted a gofundme on here awhile back and i donated $400 anonymously and it maybe lowkey changed their lives and i didn't feel the loss at all. that's retarded

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

yeah man figure yourself out before you start donating imo

also you may be just starting to wake up on money stuff but other people are really bent out of shape about it for various reasons i dont think there was anything morally wrong with your thread but there are various practical reasons why people dont broadcast wealth much

the first advice when i got a job that paid a lot was "dont talk to people about how much you make unless they make roughly as much as you do" and i have found that to be good advice for various reasons

does seem reasonable overall lol

yes people often roughly know what someone else might be expected to earn given their age, job, living quarters, etc but a second typical rule is to not to talk about money except with people you know well whose reaction you can probably predict

Relevant point of comparison is how lottery winners social lives change when their friends and family find out they're rich. It usually isn't pretty. Also applicable to for example the GME windfall a lot of people got. Brings out the worst in many people.
