not gonna say any Amounts but like, general rambling

so my current job earns me enough money to like, tread water at our fairly cushy lifestyle and expensive-ass rent

but parents are increasing the amount of stock they're sending our way and we're talking about putting some of it away and some towards just, monthly expenses

and between the amount of money they're eventually sending our way and the amount I make at work

and the fact that we aren't gonna have kids

we've basically, like. made it?

like theoretically I could more or less just not worry about money, indefinitely, living the way I do

but that's also not enough. we need a big goal

and that goal isn't gonna be putting a kid through college

so maybe instead

the goal is making sure some of our friends don't drown

that's an aspiration

make enough money that we can help our friends when they need it without expecting anything back

I think that's a good goal- you have as much as you need, so you want to give the rest to other people who still need help.

exactly

yeah i think that's a great goal!

As someone who has had to rely on people like that a lot this year: oh my god yes this is incredibly a goal to strive for. Others have explained it to me as "I could give this money to a charity that may be corrupt or not agree with my views on human life, OR I could use this money for charity where I know it's helping"

the ideal tbh

as someone who has also been in The Pit the past little while, yea

this is in fact what I will be striving for when I myself get out of the pit
