What to do: have 6 figures in the bank. Buy shiity flat, buy expensive flat or just continue to enjoy number going up. No kids. No hope. Im leaning towards shitty flat because i’d pay it off quickly but if all goes to hell then does it matter?
Genuine question. Current living situation is irritating but cheap.
If you didn’t have to work, what would you do? Do you still want to work? Would you do something else? Do you have any hobbies?
I’m asking because I’m planning on taking a sabbatical from work because I’m tired of working and I want to enjoy some time away from work.
Two chicks at the same time. But for real, 6 figures isn’t enough to retire on for a lot of people these days considering their age and lifestyle.
I wouldn’t do anything. Take your time away but don’t ask people like me, I have nothing to do. A hobby would be healthy but my bank account going up is my hobby.
I think that explains why your life is a hopeless void seemingly not worth living
Somehow your brain just wants to make meaningless number go up and that’s it
Should go buy some therapy or something with that money and have them teach you to do human stuff instead
Meaningless number go up = security and not being homeless ever again. Unemployment taught me that money is the only thing that matters. So I’m terrified of letting go of it. My bank account is the only thing that has ever made me feel safe. This is not inhuman.
Sounds p inhuman to me, understandable but very inhuman
Maybe money can now teach you it is one of the last things that matters
Do you like working?
No, do you?
No, but I have things I like to do outside of work and my work funds those activities.
Based on your responses, it seems like the only thing you like to do is to see your net worth go up. Any reason why you don’t have any hobbies?
I like to cook and bake so those are kind of my hobbies. I cut everything out of my life when I was unemployed and that’s where the money obsession comes from. I don’t ever want to be homeless again. Money equals security to me. Plus lifelong depression means I don’t actually get happy about anything, except food. My goal is just avoiding pain.
It looks like you’re doing a great job at protecting yourself against a horrible life, but it looks like you haven’t planned out creating a good life.
I’d save your money and have it grow, but I’d start looking into low/no cost hobbies or something to add some joy in your life.
