I mean, anything over about 1000 USD would be a big help, I had to make an unexpected visit to a sick parent that really set back my short term goals.
10k would be a nice emergency fund and I could start focusing again on things like moving to a better place (moving is expensive).
100k would mean freedom to get any transition-related surgeries I want without hassling with insurance. Or it could be rolled into a home purchase or retirement.
Currently my income isn’t great, but I can pay my bills with savings to spare, even in a nicer apartment or home.
10K€ would pay me some debts and allow me to buy a new(er) car than my old ass ‘93 corsa.
I love the thing to death since it has so much meaning for me. But I really wish it had AC and power steering. Parking on tight spots is hell, but on the upside gets me a quick workout :’)
Probably something like… €400.000 to €450.000. Then I could buy an apartment or small house when I graduate and pay off my student loans in full. It depends on the city I can find work in and want to live though. There are 3 I’m seriously considering and it varies about a €100.000 for a house between the cheapest and most expensive of the three.
About 15k euro or so. I could go to a school program to learn how to code without my financial situation declining because of medical costs i have for a chronic condition.
You don’t really need to go to a school to learn coding. You can also learn this using SaaS platforms or WSL. Besides, most universities are mediocre garbage. I didn’t learn shit from a 4-year degree, and also, I’m jobless. Yes, I contribute to open-source projects regularly, and that still hasn’t improved my situation. None of the recruiters have checked my profile, because it’s a bunch of corporate bullshit to freeload on good-faith contributors while making bucks out of it. Right now, I’m working on my own projects, checking out a few open-source repo and checking out their design, as well as applying lazily, including unpaid jobs.
