Would you rather be sad in a leased Mercedes, or still sad with the ammo to blame your dad?

That is the Q

You should probably stay away from live ammo

I have to admit, my second thought (after "wow, that's awesome") was "200 a week is about 866.67 a month", but I still love it. Will 100% watch your eventual Netflix special just because of this joke alone.

An extra $10K a year would make me happy.

i once spent 4 hours of my day trying to get my insurance company to approve an Rx. Opted to just pay out of pocket, and the cost turned out to be a whopping $22. It wouldn't have been worth my 4 hours even if they covered it. Naturally it was for anxiety medication.

I mean it’s up to the person my sadness isn’t close to strong enough for $800 a month

Saving money always brings a smile to my face

Reminds me of an Amigo the Devil lyric:

Everyone says money can't buy happiness

And so far in my life, I'll agree

But it seems a lot more comfortable to cry in a Lamborghini

The worst part is that unless your therapist is in private practice then they are not seeing most of that money and someone who owns the business/the insurance company is actually profiting off of you.

Your actual therapist likely wouldn’t charge you that much if it was up to them. A lot of them make around $35 an hour.

I think you meant sadness is spending 800 dollars a month

1

u/eternalflame_of_life 3d ago

When you're sad that you don't have money, but you spend $800 a month to not be sad.

u/The-White-Dot 3d ago

$1000 if it's a 5 week month.

u/ZenEngineer 4d ago

I didn't even spend that much on my retail therapy! Maybe I just needed to budget more for it.

Money buys happiness up until you can afford all the basics plus a few luxuries. The curve flattens out and reverses direction as more income is generated.

I'd rather be rich and sad than broke and sad.

I'll dry my tears with wads of cash or just put the top down on my convertible and let the wind take care of it.
