Also one of my coworkers spent six grand on fixing his pickup then bought a four thousand dollar zero turn lawn mower and has booked a resort stay in the Bahamas for eleven thousand dollars for him and his wife and child and I'm not sure if I live on the same planet as regular people any more

He's been with the company for 20 years and makes a full $10/hr more than me and his wife is GSM of another location and makes bank.
I'm still way down here on the bottom of the curve 😅
Ah, gotcha.
Still though, having that much spendable income without any guilty feelings is just… huh? 
Yeah I'm just sitting here like.
Bro.
I could've paid for my whole new (to me) vehicle with that money. That amount of money would be life changing for me. And he's just like yeah it's good but I better cool it for the rest of the month.
What does it even feel like to live in numbers that big.
Bro just spent what I earn in a year on niceties and cosmetics.. That could’ve paid off my student loans and had plenty left to spare. Cool it for the month? I’d be cooling it for the rest of my life right now if I tried to spend like that.
If you can spend $21k on a whim like that it’s gotta just be numbers at that point, right? Imagine being able to just throw money at your problems and forget about them. No worrying about going over budget or spending too much. No worrying over getting yourself a little treat you really want cuz you already spent a ton on necessities that month…
Yeah honestly it's baffling to even try to imagine being able to just run through money like that. I'll tell you though if I ever hit the millions none of my friends are ever gonna need a GoFundMe again.
Oh heck yeah, one of the best reasons to get rich right there. It’s honestly part of what’s kept me at my current job. Being able to throw support the way of my fellow trans folks now and then almost makes fast food bearable! 🥲
