no idea why you're being downvoted. not having money is not only shit because it robs you of all agency, but it's also the most expensive form of existence. Being forced to spend $10 on something later because you can't afford spending $5 on it _today_ is a classic example but it comes in other shapes too such as having to say YES to anything -even it's dangerous or a scam- because it's still better than "no options", or being judged (by usually those who have more) for being "picky". > The only benefit of not having money is that it makes all other horrible life conditions and outcomes seem somewhat less horrible comparatively. It dulls the pain and stress receptors. ^^ so what they're saying is that if you're being diagnosed with a terminal disease you might be so far into depression and suicidal ideation[1] that it literally doesn't matter any more because you have no power (money) to solve it. Think about your own privilege that causes you to not comprehend what is being said before you downvote something you can't empathize with.
