Does this also make you resent or be prejudiced towards people that very poor or very rich? Do you also feel like they actually don't 'earn' their money like you do?

nope, it's not a political thing for me, just a psychological tic

what's that distinction in your mind? is investment returns receiving or earning?

my relationship with money is really inconsistent. good regular paycheck for 5 years, got immune to it and didn't think about it. $200 from patrons, feelings of intense gratitude. dinner with friends and family? I am a generous king. eating out by myself? pls,,, I has no coin

wife and I: should we spend $200 getting another ipad keyboard since we both keep sharing one? surely it is this sort of extravagance that leads people into spiraling poverty and debt and divorce also wife and I: we are too busy to buy groceries, let us buy takeout every day

Do you have a source? Working on LTV model.
