For one thing, it's hard to know what to spend it on. What should take priority? Obviously your own basic needs, for starters. And then of course the needs of your immediate dependents. But then what? Do you try to increase your quality of life? Theirs? At what point do you draw the line and begin to help others altruistically? Are two coins worth more than billions in practice? Besides, what even is quality of life? It's a very difficult and heavy problem. One I'm glad I don't have.

Altruism? In rich folk? Usually they convince themselves on thinking they need stuff they don't actually need. Employees can't afford everyday life? Not their issue.

Probably not Haskell developers, but then again, I don't have enough money for my opinions to be worth anything. > One I'm glad I don't have. you should probably put less thought into it if you want to be happy & not grapple with such difficult thoughts. > At what point do you draw the line and begin to help others altruistically? At the point you have money, IMO. Otherwise what is the point of having money?
