Yea, feels like an excuse for lack of spontinaity. Not judging OP, could be depression or any such thing, but these are two independent variables.
Comment on The ability to be spontaneous in life is directly proportion to the size of your bank account

The ability to be spontaneous doesn’t change.
It’s what you can do spontaneously that changes.
I can’t spontaneously just take off to Japan; but I can spontaneously take a walk around town or go to a park.

You’re right. Being rich might open up more types of spontaneity, but you’re right and this just sounds like an excuse to not do anything.

If you don’t know the difference between “your” and “you’re”, you’re probably getting fired at some point anyway
It’s not difficult

It’s annoying when people get pedantic about spelling on the internet, but at least you weren’t a massive, insufferable arsehole about it.
Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 3 days ago
True, but is it pedantic? The same people that complain they can’t find a job are the ones that make huge grammar mistakes in their applications or résumés.
I wouldn’t hire someone who was too lazy to proofread over someone who wasn’t; would you? And then why should that rule not apply to your fellows on the internet?
Sometimes if you don’t point out people’s mistakes, you’re actually hurting their future selves
I think everyone nowadays is a bit too accepting of other people’s faults to try to seem a bit more morally superior themselves, without realising that they’re actually being abusive in the long term
Anyway, I’m not actually serious here, I just wondered who would actually read this far

I mean…it depends on the job? I go on walks during working hours all the time to clear my head and think about a problem I’m working on. I don’t try to hide this from my manager.

Most financially secure people still work full time. I suppose that in theory, they’re able to quit their jobs without suffering immediate, catastrophic consequences but if they actually did that sort of thing, they wouldn’t be financially secure for long.
(In my experience, many financially secure people actually work much more than full time. I think they would be better off if they didn’t because at some point time becomes more valuable than money, but they have the sort of personality that compels them to. This is often related to starting out without financial security.)
The very rich can do crazy stuff without consequences but they’re such a small part of the population that I don’t think comparing oneself to them is useful.
