How would $10,000 affect your life right now?

I could 100% be done with all of the temporary recurring debts that I’ve been dealing with since graduating college five years ago.

In America, they make it basically impossible to do anything but tread water if you start out with nothing, or like most of us, start out in debt.

We’re micro-transaction-ed to debt. Poverty costs interest, and I’ve never been able to climb over that initial hump of temporary debts to actually focus on the big picture financially.

I’ve really thought about this question a lot over the past few years. $10,000 is so little to so many rich people. Some would hardly even notice it gone from their bank accounts. A lot of people my age even.

Sigh. One day, man. Not today though.
