Since human wants are unlimited, isn’t it by definition that they will have zero dollars left over if they actually tried to satisfy as much as they feasibly could?
- bluGill 2y agoNot really - I want security which is why I always keep a reasonable amount of emergency savings. Not to mention my retirement funds that provide security for the future when I can't work. Ideally I'll die just as I spend my last dollar, but it is highly likely that I will have money left over.

SSI is a joke, and the incoming Cruelty Administration is likely to make it worse. I’d like to think that I can leave something to her, so she won’t wind up spending the remainder of her life on the streets. I’ve seen that happen, frequently.
- junipertea 2y agoThis bug can be mitigated via inflation.
- bluGill 2y agoThat makes it worse as I have to budget enough money for the worst [best?] case life.
- MichaelZuo 2y agoAren’t you forgoing some other wants? Such that it’s not been satisified to the maximum feasible extent.
- bluGill 2y agoA complete list would be long and get into private things I don't talk about
