I think this is just an extension of "Fuck you money"
- VikingCoder 9mo agoI think you're very close to being right... But I think "Fuck you money" implies, "I honestly don't have to worry about money, ever again." Now, we all have different definitions for that, but the kind of thing I was talking about is definitely not "Fuck you money," to me. I think if I had "Fuck you money," my best friends and close family would all have their medical debts paid off. I think my parents and in-laws would have their mortgages paid off.
- jayd16 9mo agoThat is what they call "fuck me money". As in, fuck me I'll just pay it. FUM is the freedom to walk away. FMM is the power make your own terms.
- CoffeeOnWrite 9mo agoIt’s more than just money, it’s how you set up your life to be resilient to contingencies. For example finding a compatible life partner. For example finding happiness without lifestyle inflation and breaking free from the hedonic treadmill. Or perhaps having a good lifestyle business for some people. Or having extended family support nearby. I call these things unfuckwithability. Money is a big part of it, but may not be the biggest missing piece for many people.
