Wise man. You totally don't. With muuuch less you'd never have to work again, ever (in the USA you'd need considerably more though). I stopped working with 25 or so, I don't even remember when I retired.

This month I've been to the dentist, had 3 doctor's appointments, and a cat scan, for a total of 300-ish USD. The joys of not living in America.

and a cat scan
Did they find any cats in you?

Not during the scan no, but maybe I'll go to a furry convention sometime, we'll see then.

As someone outside America I was also confused at first, I was thinking "so you're telling your therapist you'd buy a lot of candy and mess up your teeth and get sick so you have to go to the doctor and the dentist?" It is superficially so similar to my own country and yet really is a completely foreign environment when looked at from perspectives like this.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I was at the convenience store today and this old guy was talking to the cashier about lottery tickets
The cashier says the lottery is at $80 million, and the old guy just says “nobody needs that much” and then walked away.
