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.
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.
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.
The saddest part about it is that although what you said is true, that doesn’t guarantee that the sum won’t grow. What I pay back is not even covering the interest, and it keeps growing. It may be that I’m going to pay that “tax” for my whole life, which is ironic because I dont even work in the same industry as the education I’m paying back for.
More than money, friends, that would improve my mental health and my life quality significantly, sometimes I just need someone to talk, I have no one most of the time, and that really mekes my depression more hard to manage, otherwise I would say 20k (I’m mexican so that would be like 360k mexican pesos), that could give me the opportunity to live near my university for almost 4 years, manage to get therapy consistently and found some projects I would love making, but yeah that’s not gonna happen so I’ll say 50 usb dollars for a gift to my brother
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.
Hah, thanks, appreciate that! It’s all good, I’m saving up bit by bit. Just can’t quite justify the whole cost at once, you know? But I’ll get there, same as with everything else.
It’s really not very exciting, it’s just a minimalist little city builder thing. More of a “prove I can make and release a game” type project than anything that’s gonna make me famous! Learning Godot engine at the same time which has been half fun, half frustrating as hell :D
