I'm trying to ignore my phone and email and only do lazy shitposts through tomorrow because this whole last week was balls and not in a good way

And no one who is doing this is on here (that I know of, lol) so don't worry, I'm not being passive-aggressive and no one is missing any hints

Oh and also I'm not in as dire shape as I sound. My grocery money is on its way, but in the way of such things is currently in the "payment processing" ether

Don't know the context, since you deleted, but my credit union got cyberattacked this week; I went to do online billpaying July 3rd and it told me that was down, and the cash machine wouldn't give me cash either. But I had enough for the farmer's market, and my credit cards don't go through the CU.

Complaining about colleagues trying to get me to do free work for them but I returned to it hours later and realized it came off way meaner than I had intended (this is happening a lot lately because my baseline is much angrier than it used to be) and deleted. But also, part of my ambient anxiety

Money can't buy happiness, but lack of money can buy you a whole lot of anxiety and extra stress.

Idk I've had money a couple times in my life and I would say it bought me quite a lot of happiness

Like when rich people tell me that money won't solve all my problems I just laugh. It's shocking how many exhausting and thorny problems just plain vanish when you toss money at them. They don't know shit

Literally every problem I currently have would be solved by money. Right down to being able to purchase a Supreme Court Justice.

the rich people who say that money can't bring happiness are not giving their money away so that they can be happier

At the very leaat, money buys a reprieve from the shitty parts of the human condition. And there are a *lot* of those.

To be able to cover a car repair, get an appliance without having to worry is quite a relief. Having been on both sides of that situation having money is the obvious solution.

Well, it costs so much to maintain your mansion, summer home(s), yacht, etc. You have NO idea.

I mean, they have money and it does not make them happy. Not realising how lucky and safe their money makes them. I have a friend that has money (not money money) and he still does a startled jaw drop when I say how I can't afford something, he does not understant.
