why do I keep finding stuff that I feel the need to spend money on? Or want to. despite me not having money?

Like i found a K-pop group that requires me to have a lot of disposable income to afford all their stuff they release but i can’t work because i have medical conditions! And my dad thinks of it as a waste of money since we don’t have money talking about bankruptcy and stuff

Because your mind is repeating the exact same thing that your parents taught it to repeat?

Like, what medical conditions do you have? I only once saw you mention something about teeth. Teeth are i would say the #1 preventable way people get tortured. And from my own experience, i was wasting money to make myself too poor to start treatment because my shit father did the same. When he was obligated to take me to the dentist when i was 6, and he was told that i need braces, he instead got pissed at me for needing investment and made me chew hard vegetables to "sharpen the teeth" which were already asymmetrical because i was incorrectly bottle fed by my siblings because the lazy fuck has sent mother to do intensive work while he sits around doing nothing, bragging about having us as servants and what he called doing "terror" to make us fear him and therefore fear "god". Despite the form of my teeth looking ok from front since at least i was forced to chew hard while my siblings had messed up incissors (but none of them are asymmetrical), the narrow palate with one side more narrow than the other caused me asymmetrical neck muscles and the whole body to be twisted, I recently started orthodontic treatment as the first step, well, after undoing the neck asymmetry, need to surgically get the both sides of molars symmetrical, then widen the palate surgically, then will need another orthognathic surgery to add space to the airways because despite never ever mouth breathing, the narrow palate still did its job and i now nearly pass out when i get the flu as mucus blocks my airways and i can't breathe.

And? I remember all throughout childhood discussing teeth... the fucker hammered into me that nothing should be done aboit the teeth so that i too started to cope by pretending that the teeth are meaningless. instead i was wasting money on bodybuilding supplements, steroids and peptides. All while in the back of my mind i knew that only fixing teeth will fix the torment.

So why don't you start fixing your teeth? ㅤ

Wtf are you talking about

[jamesgoldman]

Because you haven't trained your brain about wants and needs

Needs keep you alive
Wants are anything after that

[MUSICTOKU099125]

What are needs?

[jamesgoldman]

Food/drink, shelter and clothes

[MUSICTOKU099125]

I have so many clothes, i don’t even go outside so that’s not exactly a need for me

[jamesgoldman]

You have fulfilled a need then

I have plenty of clothes, shelter and consumption are ongoing costs

[MUSICTOKU099125]

Yea? What about hobbies? Entertainment?

[jamesgoldman]

Maslow's hierarchy would probably put that on tier 2 or tier 3

[MUSICTOKU099125]

You clearly don’t have fun in life

[MUSICTOKU099125]

And Wtf is maslow’s hiearchy?

[jamesgoldman]

My business gives me enough fun and Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a pyramid starting from the basic needs of survival though things most would want to finally self-actualization

[MUSICTOKU099125]

Your business?

[jamesgoldman]

I'm a gold/silver dealer, nothing happier than buying, selling, looking at, appraising, wearing or handling gold and silver

[MUSICTOKU099125]

You’re definitely rich so we can’t relate at all

[MUSICTOKU099125]

I can’t even earn money

[jamesgoldman]

I'd make more on disability but then I couldn't work so I'll keep working until I can't do it anymore

[MUSICTOKU099125]

How would you make more? It’s not that much

[jamesgoldman]

Disability here is 700ish a month
I earn less working

[MUSICTOKU099125]

How? How much do you earn working?

[jamesgoldman]

500 a month

[MUSICTOKU099125]

700 a month isn’t much, even if it’s more than 500

[jamesgoldman]

30%-40% more

[MUSICTOKU099125]

You can live off 500-700 a month?

[jamesgoldman]

Absolutely, I've even got enough to have savings and my vices

Hobbies dont always need money to keep up with. You can like them without needing to buy things. That is the part you seem confused by.

[MUSICTOKU099125]

You get left behind tho by people who can enjoy them more

[MUSICTOKU099125]

Like a lot of hobbies you can’t have fun with without spending money

[AngryCarl3]

I wouldn't even waste my money on Kpop shit and video games.

[MUSICTOKU099125]

Yea because you don’t like it

[MUSICTOKU099125]

And you obviously old considering your profile says you’re in your 60s

[In_Trance]

Pathetic
