Money - would it solve your problems?

[paul29]

Just interested in "yes" or "no".
If "yes", the amount, and why.
No additional details.

Context: If my previously-discussed venture (Cfusion.ca) hits and I become wealthy again, I'd love to pilot a treatment program that clears debts and offers support, financial and otherwise, in exchange for commitment to some sort of a customized path forward.

 

[Hexen]

Yes I think so. Dont know the amount but I have bunch of stuff I want to do with money like fix my hair, buy a house, buy a music instrument because my only instrument is broken. Maybe thats it I dunno.

 

[Beautifulletdown]

Yes, but a big maybe. I don't even know how much as well. I guess it would allow me to get out of the toxic environment I'm in which I know is making my depression and anxiety worst. Not too mention the struggle to pay things which has added more stress because I have no income coming in and it isn't from lack of trying. My life is in a shambles. Looking for a hail Mary.

 

[ThriveOrDie]

Yes. Maybe $30K to get treatment, pay debt and live on until I can work again. I've already done a lot of work to get healthy so I think I would get better fast with the right treatment.

I want to start a similar charity if I can get back on my feet, but focused on helping people with natural treatment for physical and mental health problems because it is nigh impossible to get this kind of help.

 

[oopswronglife]

Solve? No...but it would allow things to be "good enough" to get through a natural life I think...and I'd like to believe I could do some good in that time left. It's impossible for me to think about without "additional details" because they matter, so ignore the rest if needed. My lifetime of savings was decimated by medical expenses and I have been denied assistance and abandoned at every turn. Running on the last of a lifetime of frugality and saving now and trying not to think about the rapidly approaching cliff. Ultimately I will likely ctb because of the money because once its gone, so is any sort of humane life, and that isn't survivable in my physical and mental condition. How much is an impossible thing to say as it just seems to keep getting worse and cost more. Likely however much it takes to get through the rest of life as I am a physical mess and have lost about everything. I have lotto jackpot dreams of a small flat and a simple life that suffices, and using the bulk to help others. It's as unlikely as any dream but sometimes you have to distract yourself when the mind won't shut up. In any civilized world I'd be getting social help. Alas...tis not a civilized one here.

Money cannot buy happiness...but it can by a life which allows one to seek happiness. Once your means to get said money is taken, and your needs greater, and there is no support system...its all downhill from there.

 

[Suicidal4Ever]

No. I'd just be rich and miserable

 

[Quase Nada]

would give me more time the ending is inevitable

 

[a_strange_day]

no. I have money, not much but enough to live decently and it doesn't change anything to what I am
being richer wouldn't help either because nothing interests me anymore, I dont travel, I dont go out, I dont do anything but staying at home and waiting for the day to pass

 

[tomz323]

No, not really. Many of my Autistic problems can't be solved with money. Moneys nice to have however.

 

[Rachel74]

Maybe as I'd have money to see the best doctors in the world but bipolar can't be cured so I'd still be suffering. I'd do other good things with the money though, give money to charities and people that really need it.

 

[k75]

Tough question. For me, it's a yes and no.

No, because my biggest problems are not financial. Botched surgery, amputation, death and loss.

But just a little money could make some things bearable. Like, $5,000 or less could make an incredible difference in my quality of life, because I could afford to replace my dead car with something more reliable. Decent transportation would make me less isolated and let me do simple things like go to the store or do laundry when I need to.

Dreaming bigger, more money ($20k+) would let me try treatment options my insurance won't pay for, like ketamine infusions. Or afford better reconstructive surgery. Those would actually directly address core problems making my life unbearable, so maybe it would make a difference?

 

[oopswronglife]

No, because my biggest problems are not financial. Botched surgery, amputation, death and loss.

Isn't that a shitty circle to be stuck in? Doctors ruin you and take your money, health, quality of life...but the only possibility of any future life is more doctors and more money? Something evil in the whole thing if you ask me.

 

[JimFord99]

Nope, not at all. All out of my hands, now. No money could help me.

 

[SS02]

Noooooo
I have lots of money. Yet I'm on this forum.

 

[bluesky1972-2019]

Money would help, but it would just be a distraction buying material things or travelling. But the underlying reasons to CTB will always be there. I would still be messed up inside.

 

[mattwitt]

Yes.
200k
Should keep me alive until retirement age.

 

[woxihuanni]

No.

 

[Sailfisher]

No.

What I want cannot he bought with anything but time, maybe.

 

[First loss]

Oh man yes. So fucking yes. I could turn my life around and actually amount to something.

 

[nothingleft]

No.

If I don't get my shit together I can have a happy life of living off my parents' hard work and effort /s

 

[Squiddy]

It would make me a little happy, but overall, no, it wouldn't solve my problems as no amount of money can fix my brain fog and mental disorders

 

[Susannah]

Yes, a great deal. I would be able to move from where I live, I really hate this place. I could buy my son some clothes, and maybe take him on a vacation. I would have less concerns about the future, without depending on others, their mood being good, meaning I wouldn't have to say yes all the time.

I could travel (on my own), it's awful for me not having this lifeline now when it's getting so dark and cold.

All my loveS

 

[ReverendGreen]

Yes, most of them.
50k is what I'd need, and I would give 30k of it away to my parents.
There'd be a lot less stress in my life.

 

[AntiBan]

not all of them, but some and would help everyone, me and my family

 

[Jean4]

$100,000. With that, I can pay off all my student loans and bills, and ensure my cats are taken care of before I CTB.

 

[Stan]

Look at the amount of rich celebrities that have ctb

 

[StillWaiting]

Yes probably. Few million dollars will be enough to last for my whole life. Don't want to worry about money.

 

[GreyMonkey]

Yes if I can invest that money into recovering my early wounds.

I have all the capacities I need to be successful - I'm smart, charismatic... I just get hijacked by irrational fears due to childhood wounding. If I wasn't so held back by this fear and shame I think I would be fine in life.

I would likely dedicate myself to helping others afflicted by this stuff on the other side of my recovery.

$10k would probably be enough to get me going.

 

[okaoki]

No , sadly no , it might solve some of the troubles im having , but can't fix my broken soul.
unless someone could invent a device that erase my memories and sent me somewhere else
for a fresh start then a Yes.

 

[marcusuk63]

Money doesn't buy happiness ,
However it does give you a better class of misery .

But yes as i could buy a luxury RV and run away (drive) from my life and travel the open road and me a my dog would visiting some of the most beautiful places on earth .
