You'd give away all your money to feel a little bit less sad?
- bambax 2mo agoIf you think about it, the only reason we ever spend money, is to feel a little bit less sad.

- Ekaros 2mo agoEventually yes. Just comes to degree. But I do very often spend money to feel that little bit sad. Be it food or snacks or some mostly useless junk I think I need.
- shiandow 2mo agoWhen you put it like that it doesn't sound like the worst idea.
- walthamstow 2mo agoIt sounds terrible. You used to be sad, now you're still sad and you're destitute too
- shiandow 2mo agoBut less sad! Honestly the main problem is one of efficiency not whether buying happiness with money is a bad idea. Being less sad is more important than having money, but you do need to plan ahead so you don't run out too quickly.

- nkrisc 2mo agoFor some people that’s the best they can hope for.
- nkrisc 2mo agoI can’t tell if you’re joking but people do that all the time, every day. It might be alcohol, strippers, or just random stuff they don’t really need. If this sounds surprising to you then probably you have enough money that you don’t need to give all of it away to be less sad.

- walthamstow 2mo agoIn this thread we're talking about people who have life savings to be scammed out of. I'd say it's probably not an everyday thing that people empty their life savings and blow it all on Temu and strippers.
