I think when people come across extra funds they just use it to upgrade their life. Maybe they buy the nicer soft drink and snack, they spend more time at the bar with friends, they decide to buy audio equipment or another computer monitor, or they incorporate an extra prepared meal into their regular routine. There are so many small ways to spend money that make us feel like we're living a better life, but when the dust settles the improvement was only temporary.
- Waterluvian 7y agoI knew someone like this. At the risk of being super rude, in a post bragging about their tax return and new Playstation, I asked why they weren't paying down the debt they were recently complaining about. I forget the exact words but it was basically, "I'm paying down the debt on misery and depression." It reminded me of some of the sadder parts of my time in university. Sometimes you need a little injection of joy and you try not to burst into tears as you type your debit PIN in, knowing this is basically all you've got left.
