Why do edmw feel depressed and jelly about money?

[HumJiBeng]

I was reading this thread from iamchiobu12m. He/she seems suicidal because he/she is earning below median salary or below his/her friend salary.

While I care about money a lot, i was never unhappy about money. I just want financial freedom, not compare with frens to feel superior.

Even when I was earning $1.5k month, I was happy. Even when I was taking $2 pocket money a day from parents, I was happy. My friends earn a lot, I feel happy also because my friends are doing well.

Plus when u are at certain age, maybe mid 30s, salary shouldn't even matter that much anymore. Is ur investment portfolio that should be ur main source of wealth by now.

So I don't understand why that edmwers want to die because salary below his/her friends

These are iamchiobu12m message. Quite dangerous. Any doctors here should take note and reach out to her

So if your parents are the most cmi in the lineage while everyone around all huat big big and their children naturally inherited those good stuff and support too. While you also feel like you are the most cui one caz with no support, means what? Should go bedok reservoir already?

Got people take 2nd look or even 200 looks also no use if no tangible benefits out of it leh.

I see my dinobu bff have a happier life than me just caz parents rich and generous. So she can easy mode and now 29yo bank still don't even have $1k savings. Every month is over budget and already leech most expenses at home already. In terms of personal finances I am definitely doing way better than her. But I'm not happy at all and everyday life is a struggle to me. I faced many real tangible hardships that idk how to overcome... everyday I just hope is my last night.

You can be making 2k and be happy maybe caz you don't have responsibility and you didn't grew up poor or whatever reasons idk. But to me money is life. No money no life. I rather be a dead person than a poor person and I take this so personally that this is rooted to my DNA.

Comparing yourself to others is often unhealthy as it can lead to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and low self-esteem, diminishing your unique strengths and progress.Instead, focus on your individual journey by celebrating your achievements, taking responsibility for your actions, and recognizing that everyone has their own path.

I don't feel that way for money. I feel happy if my friends or relatives earn much more than me.

Becoz need to compare. After compare feels sad.

We also compare to Bill Gates and Elon Musk, then we feel we piss poor.

this is the problem with living in sg. I dont really blame ts though

In sg, there's nothing much to look forward to. No culture, no festivals, ppl all busy working, not socialising, friends drifting apart, ppl are not dating etc.

What is the one thing that can measure a person's success or measure a good life? the easiest is money.

money= success to most pple.

money allows a person to live a better life, a so called more fulfilling life. When u have money, u can pamper yourself, live luxury life, u have lesser worries. No friends, no family, no significant other also nvm. With money u can do a lot of stuff on your own.

Money is not everything, but it can solve a lot of unhappiness in life, even if its a temporary solution.

In the past, ppl were poorer, but they are happier. Why? cuz of kampong spirit, ppl have more friends, ppl are marrying n giving birth, having families etc. there's things to look forward to.

Now the whole society is just cold. The only thing that becomes real is money. i can totally understand why ts feels that way cuz i sometimes feel that way too.

 

[arsenalfc85]

For women, no money still not so bad.

For guys, no money = gg.com

Women look down on u, even friends also look down on u, relatives n neighbours all look down on u too.

U wanna don't give a s*** also cannot.
