Discussion Is being poor the main reason you want to ctb?

[sfdwx]

Just wonder it

 

[WorthlessTrash]

No. I probably could get myself out of my funk and do something meaningful with my life if I didn't hate myself. My hatred towards myself is tied to the main reason I plan to CTB, which has nothing to do with money.

it's not the main reason but i do recognize having more money would put me in a more secure situation and give me better access to mental health treatment as well as a healthier lifestyle in general. which would. probably make me want to die less lol

 

[Forever Sleep]

Money is a major reason but I'm not exactly poor. I just find it VERY difficult to do the job I want to do and earn enough from it to sustain myself. (Creative job.)

 

[Ultracheese]

It's not the main reason, and most of the fault lies in myself, but I have found the lack of money has been a big reason why I can't accomplish a lot of my goals.

 

[Superdeterminist]

It's one of the biggest reasons, but there are other reasons as well.

 

[Heavenbound]

It's not the main reason but it's a huge part of why I want to ctb. They say money doesn't buy happiness, but for my situation it certainly would make things easier.

When I was younger, no, but now that I'm older and soon to be homeless in a few months. Yeah, it's a huge deciding factor on wanting to CTB.

 

[aubrey!]

is it the reason? no
could it probably alleviate my will to? absolutely.

money can buy so many distractions;

Thank you very much.

It is part of the reason in an aspect, but certainly not the main reason.

I have been poor a decade. I stumbled onto a chunk of money in the bullrun in 21. I had money a year. No worries about spending.

Still a weirdo. Still scared of spending. Still unemployable. Still sexually confused. But a bit more money was nice.

Now I mostly lost/spent it. I am objectively in a better financial state; debts paid, itms I could resell, decent amount in the bank.

I've never been more suicidal. But before that money I had hope people might value me as a productive human. That hope is gone; employers and potential partners both.

For me its the purposelessness and unemployability, plus the life complexity and endless burocracy I have given myself... If I solved those I wouldn't be poor, but it is chicken and egg.

( not suicidal here)

But even if I was no. Money is convenient sure. But you can be happy with little.

 

[Atwr]

It is one of the main reasons

 

[Hihihehehuhu]

Of course, my pyschologist said economic state is one of the biggest affect on mental health, and i have heard too many suicides caused by poorness

 

[Leagueofgentlemen]

I've been desperately poor in the past and not wanted to, it's purely illness in my case.
