I'd like to report in as someone at the end of that process and is actually making good money.

Now I need:

More time to hang out with friends and family. 🥲

Thinking you need more money does not mean you're greedy though.

For real. I have a lot of problems right now, and there's not a single one of those problems that can't be solved with an adequate amount of money.

I, like I think a lot of people, fantasize about winning the lottery not because I'm desperate to live in a mansion or to have a $500k sports car in my driveway, but because I dream of watching all my problems absolutely evaporate before my eyes.

I have a disability and I'm a student so I have zero physical or mental energy to have a job next to my almost full time study. I used to just be broke all the time. I found out there's a city government fund for people exactly like me, and it honestly so fucking crazy what that extra 300 euros a month does. It's not just that I can afford necessities and something fun once in a while but it gives so much peace of mind. One of my cats was sick a few months ago and I could just take her to the vet and have her blood work done without having to stress about it.

xactly. Any other problems are usually self made or if not then the money still can ameliorate them greatly. Like being crippled. Better to have a nice house, someone to come clean, with stair lift and such than to be on the streets with a tiny tim crutch.

What are some of these problems, if I may ask?

Probably things like living paycheck to paycheck. Needing a new washing machine or some other device but not being able to afford that yet. Not being able to have your car repaired or buy a car so you have to use public transport and walk long distances to get to your work.

I mean that's what I imagine. A little money would make those problems go away. But when your paycheck only covers your rent, bills and food, you never get to save up for things.

I mean I can imagine those things as well :) But I was still interested in the specific person and not some abstract possibilities :)

Yeah, and having stuff to eat is amazing too

And being able to entertain yourself sometimes so you aren’t just thinking about how you need a roof over your head or something to eat, that’s neat

Over-consumption loop.

You work hard for money -> so you buy unnecessary stuff since you earned it -> you have no money -> you work hard for money...

I have quit this loop by limiting my consumption to minimum. My friends ask me why don't I buy X if I can easily afford it and it will make my life better. Well, not better enough to justify waste of both my money/time and Earth's resources to manufacture something.

Also over-consumption is a fuel to capitalist dystopia.

I have already limited my consumption to a minimum. Now I just need to make more money.

While this is true, this is severely short sighted and misses the perspective of being impoverished and constantly being unable to make ends meet even after you have cut luxury from your life.

Q: How do I make more money? A: Scam other's out of their money

Difference being with honest work, people value your product and it actually does what you are promising.
Scams are not this.

Unrelated to the meme, but I appreciate your username. Do you prefer chair conformer or boat conformer?

I feel this. It's kind of addicting to chase a bigger paycheck. I actually talk about it a lot in therapy and it's been helpful.

Yeah, I guess making more money is helpful to finance a therapy. /j

Oh shit! Thats I need money, god damn!. When we first met-up, he wrote on a slip of paper "I NEED MONEY", I said "shit, me too!". We started making it together after that.
