Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more
Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 1 day agoI remember reading this in an Uncle Scrooge comic when I was a kid. For context, Uncle Scrooge was explaining how money works to his nephews. The gist was “it’s not how much money, but how much it will buy that counts”.
I learned that lesson from a Scottish cartoon duck.

How many hours did I have to work for this?

I unironically use that as one of the measures I use for assessing whether something I could do is worth the effort or not. Want to try a video game? How much of my life did I have to sell to afford what it will cost? Things like that. It’s not the only consideration, of course, but it definitely is one.
