      related: I have friends now who talk about net worth goals as a primary focus, rather than debt repayment goals until a few years ago this was a completely novel perspective

      just kidding, I also want to touch on the bizarre experience of being in the middle of a class transition it's like I'm rapidly shifting between two different filters placed over the same scene and they have very different effects on my emotional state

      note that I am not necessarily criticizing a defensive attitude re: debt and the law! it can be pretty functional and lifesaving, especially if you lack access to knowledge about those relationships/agreements

      getting even more speculative I wonder if there's something about whether or not your class/culture feels like monetary transactions (for nontangible goods) are profane, or a little dirty

      as an illustration my mom is disabled, we had foster kids who did a lot of damage to the house amd had hygiene issues so we had a housekeeper come twice a month for the bathrooms my mother made us clean the house before she arrived (even parts she wasn't cleaning)

      and was generally just a little ashamed of having someone do this, for money like the act of having an *adult* perform a service in exchange for money was intrinsically degrading to everyone involved

      and in fact I was raised to make lots of little gestures in these situations that could be framed as *maintaining the status* of someone doing a service for me like I had to cancel out the implied degradation of being transactional...

      ...by engaging in rituals that reinforced a social/community-oriented relationship between us, rather than a purely economic one

      by which I mean I don't think just because a relationship is primarily economic doesn't mean you can't be social to be pleasant and lower boundaries :)
