“money isn’t important”
“money doesn’t bring you happiness”
blah blah blah
well being poor sure as f*** make happiness, peace, friendships, good health- all those things- damn near impossible.
-i’m sick and in constant pain- money would sure help in the health dept, as well as paying ppl for stuff i can’t do or have a hard time doing. or too fatigued or depressed to do
-i have shit neighbors that are so fucking noisy and i have zero peace- if i had money, i’d leave go and somewhere better. heck, at this point, i’m done with the US. i want to go overseas.
-i am stuck here in a place where you can’t go anywhere without a car. and uber costs $30-$60 to go anywhere, EACH trip. i can’t go anywhere, or do anything.
-heck, i’m too tired to list all the reasons the lack of money is making my life shitty and depressed. i’m sure you people KNOW what a lack of money means.
Don’t try to argue with me how money isn’t importable, it’s your mentality crap. I posted something about money on a different site (on an aging alone site) and half the ppl get it and half are like “money is evil, it’s your mentality, it’s your fault you don’t think positive,” etc crap.
Money doesn’t necessarily bring you happiness, but the LACK of sure brings a ton of misery. Studies show money over a certain amount, around 75K, doesn’t bring any more happiness, but if you’re poor, then more money WOULD make life more comfortable, livable, and gives you more options. You’re not constantly worrying about stuff that money can take care of- bills, housing, transportation, physical help, food, not having shit neighbors, insurance, medication not covered by insurance, etc.
Fuck all the people that keep saying “money isn’t important and won’t make your life better.” Fuck you. You try living on 20k a year.

I much agree. On 20K we have little power over our living conditions. I once lived in an apartment where noise was chronic. But I visited apartments that where quiet and and you guessed it, quite a bit more $. Sound proofing does not come cheap. Responsible neighbors are usually higher earners, or so I have observed.
It takes hundreds of dollars a month to get the things and services needed to maintain health. It just does.
It takes hundreds of dollars a month to have a reliable safe car of ones own. It just does.
Safer parts of town may cost more too, depending on where one lives, complicated subject to be sure, but I do know safety costs, one way or the other.
Money does matter. Living with lack of money is no picnic.
