Thoughts on money these days:- I think there’s a point in every man’s life where all he can see is money. Every decision throughout the day is interpreted in numbers - a trade off between time and money. I went out for a simple dinner with my family to a local Indian restaurant, Copper Chimney. For 4 people, the damage was ~Rs.6,500 (PPP adjusted to $281 excluding tip). This served as yet another reminder of the fact of my privilege and apart from being beyond grateful; I was embarrassed that I, a 25 year old male in the prime of my life, am sitting at a table where the bill is being paid by my father. Honestly this one thought was enough to destroy any feelings of happiness that came out of the meal. Yes, you can look at it as quality time spent with family and many people in the world don’t have the luxury to do this. I’m not discounting this privilege; but then if I am so privileged, why do I feel like shit? Context: 26M, Mumbai (South), India. Just left a job after 3y of working to join the family jewellery business which isn’t doing so well. It’s on me to change its fate, so there is a blend of nervousness and excitement. For those wondering, the job path is very tricky in India; in this economy, I argued that running my own business (although much harder) will yield a better return (in wealth / learning) over a sufficiently long time frame. submitted by /u/PJericho9201
