Maybe a lot or maybe none. I am really struggling with depression. I can afford therapy and I have all the money I need. I only wish living wasn’t so painful. Maybe having someone in my life who cares would go a long way.
That’s such a rough spot to be in, I’m sorry.
My current girlfriend went through therapy and it really shows in her and how she is and has always been this way since our first date. I’d highly recommend it based on the transformation she’s told me about and she says the same about herself.
Take care of yourself!
Exactly $148 would ensure my mortgage doesn't default next Tuesday. This is assuming I drink a bit of cooking oil.
I'll probably be fine. Whoever said crime doesn't pay was a bozo.
$40,000 would pay off all debts for me and my wife, and allow us finally catch our breath. The monthly payments have been annihilating us for years, and neither of our careers have recovered since COVID.
It feels like an endless tunnel.
Enough to buy a house.
That seems like a lot for this question but it's honestly the only thing that significantly would. Cars and goods are great but just materialistic and I can live without them just fine. But give me a place for my family and I to live and our lives would be significantly improved, because we'd not have to deal with landlords, renting, we could modify the house to our needs, have pets and not stress about constant rent hikes and the possibility of being evicted.
I think everyone should have the opportunity to own their own house and politicians are betraying society and entire generations of people by doing things that work heavily against it.
Around $3 trillion dollars so that I can buy Microsoft and shut them down, paving the way for the GNU/Linux desktop.
This is a super interesting question!
For me IDK if any amount of money would significantly improve my life. I'm not terribly materialistic and I'm happy with what I have/don't feel like I immediately want or am missing something. I make good money and stash as much as possible while still enjoying nights out with friends and buying whatever I want.
I'm currently saving up a quarter million for a house down payment, and while it's a lot of money my quality of life/overall happiness would be the same so I wouldn't call the change significant. Things are really good in my life for once, and it's nice to be able to recognize that. Thanks for the question it actually made me really happy to think about how lucky I am.
I hope others in this thread who need it can find some fortune in their future.
Probably something like... €400.000 to €450.000. Then I could buy an apartment or small house when I graduate and pay off my student loans in full. It depends on the city I can find work in and want to live though. There are 3 I'm seriously considering and it varies about a €100.000 for a house between the cheapest and most expensive of the three.
3 mil so I can retire. Working toward it and I will achieve it eventually. A few decades earlier would change everything though.
$208,063.88
This would pay off our mortgage and we could dump that monthly payment into saving for retirement.
However, if the question was how much do we need then it would be $0. We are far more fortunate than many.
If there was a line of all the people in this comment section waiting to get whatever amount they need I’d be one of those continuously moving to the back to let others go first.
I hope you all find improved quality of life, even if it’s not through some financial windfall!
$50K. With that, I could either buy the lot next door or quit work for a year and go back to school.
About $10000 cuz that’s the cost of the rest of my tuition after my financial aid runs dry next semester
I think about 1k USD would improve my life a lot at the moment and in the future. I'm in the process of moving countries for a job and I need to have my things shipped. I already live abroad, so I can't leave anything behind. Anything I cannot afford to ship I will have to give away or dispose. With all the moving expenses, I have no idea how much money I have left for shipping, but 1k would allow me to ship everything stress free.
€15,000 transferred right now.
Enough to leave
back to South Africa for good since quality of life and the political landscape is worsening to the extent where I might even be in some degree of danger. Also work hasn't allowed me to leave for the Friday prayer, so there's that. I do get paid on Monday so after bills that leaves me with a little over €5,000 saved. The extra money would pay for the flight, buying a 1BR apartment outright with maybe spending a few grand on renovations and living expenses would be covered for at least 3 years, leeway to find an income.I suppose the silver lining is that I am able to add an extra €400 a month to my savings, so this goal is at least materializing albeit slower than I'd like.
