    money can solve many problems that you wouldnt necessarily expect to be easily soluble but for this to happen you (i) have to be able to see where and how money can be applied and (ii) actually have money available Which Is Why You Shouldnt Spend Money On Dumb Shithttps://twitter.com/selentelechia/status/1338612352762036225 …

        its probably easier to explain where money CANNOT solve problems than where it can specifically one cannot directly purchase status, affection, charm, satisfaction, or renown even using money as a lever for these things is very dicey

        "I want to buy X to solve problem Y which will get me one of the items from the above list" often works "I want to buy X which will impart one of the items listed above" almost never does

        I guess what I mean is, think very carefully about whether Y is actually the problem before reaching for your wallet

        one of the few things you can't buy is time, so if you can spend an acceptable amount to save time it seems worthwhile

        Can't forget about this seminal @yashkaf piece on the subject "Finally, if you take nothing else from this post, take this tip: buy great soap. I think that people strongly undervalue the happiness to be had from excellent products in cheap categories."https://putanumonit.com/2016/05/11/shopping-for-happiness/ …

        Yes, saving money in your twenties buys you options.
