You sound like someone who has money. Those who are starving and freezing don't have the choice
Not a comparison. Just those with money have the luxury of saying they don't want money. Yet if you ever asked an actual person without money they would be very happy to have that luxury.
You have a roof over your head food in your belly. You don't have the risk of freezing to death and you probably can read and write. These are luxuries for most of human history and a lot of the world population.
You are a dev. One of the luckiest humans in the world. Most would give their left nut to work 20 hours a week and survive.
It's not a comment on you just perspective
I dont know about that, I've been broke, living on the streets before in my life, with no food. Life sucked, yet ar the same time; I still hate money. Like he said, sure having a safety net would be awesome, but beyond that just being able to explore and enjoy life is really all that kept me going. I guess maybe it's just a simple life kind of outlook?
Then i rescind my previous comment. Anyone who's been broke on the streets has more weight in this discussion. You win
Gatekeeping discussions on poverty. Cool.
