Maybe a lot or maybe none. I am really struggling with depression. I can afford therapy and I have all the money I need. I only wish living wasn’t so painful. Maybe having someone in my life who cares would go a long way.
My current girlfriend went through therapy and it really shows in her and how she is and has always been this way since our first date. I’d highly recommend it based on the transformation she’s told me about and she says the same about herself.
30k. I’ve got some car debt and other random things that need to get paid off. Having that extra monthly cash instead of payments and the pleasure of being 100% debt free would improve my overall happiness.
For me IDK if any amount of money would significantly improve my life. I’m not terribly materialistic and I’m happy with what I have/don’t feel like I immediately want or am missing something. I make good money and stash as much as possible while still enjoying nights out with friends and buying whatever I want.
I’m currently saving up a quarter million for a house down payment, and while it’s a lot of money my quality of life/overall happiness would be the same so I wouldn’t call the change significant. Things are really good in my life for once, and it’s nice to be able to recognize that. Thanks for the question it actually made me really happy to think about how lucky I am.
I hope others in this thread who need it can find some fortune in their future.
Uhh, say, 20k? My sister died and I've been taking care of her 18-year-old cat with health issues. It's my only living link to my sister - and aside from a couple cousins I don't see much, she was my last living relative. I'm not ready for another loss right now, and it also kinda feels like letting go of the cat is also kinda letting go of my sister, so I'm trying to keep the cat as healthy and happy as she can be for as long as possible - it's just really expensive (extra special diet, multiple medications, periodic tests). But today the cat raced me down the stairs, then yelled at me for making it cold and wet outside, then complained that her food was late, then snuggled up next to me at the computer. It's all worth it.
Edit: I'm estimating it's been at least 10k so far, just for emergency treatments, getting her stabilized, then diagnosed, and then coming up with a set of food and medications that work. And then I'm estimating another 10k to care for the cat in the future. She's a good cat, even if she yells at me for letting her see the bottom of her food bowl ...
