What to do: have 6 figures in the bank. Buy shiity flat, buy expensive flat or just continue to enjoy number going up. No kids. No hope. Im leaning towards shitty flat because i’d pay it off quickly but if all goes to hell then does it matter?

Genuine question. Current living situation is irritating but cheap.

    If you didn’t have to work, what would you do? Do you still want to work? Would you do something else? Do you have any hobbies?

    I’m asking because I’m planning on taking a sabbatical from work because I’m tired of working and I want to enjoy some time away from work.

      I wouldn’t do anything. Take your time away but don’t ask people like me, I have nothing to do. A hobby would be healthy but my bank account going up is my hobby.

            No, but I have things I like to do outside of work and my work funds those activities.

            Based on your responses, it seems like the only thing you like to do is to see your net worth go up. Any reason why you don’t have any hobbies?

              I like to cook and bake so those are kind of my hobbies. I cut everything out of my life when I was unemployed and that’s where the money obsession comes from. I don’t ever want to be homeless again. Money equals security to me. Plus lifelong depression means I don’t actually get happy about anything, except food. My goal is just avoiding pain.
