$40,000 would pay off all debts for me and my wife, and allow us finally catch our breath. The monthly payments have been annihilating us for years, and neither of our careers have recovered since COVID.
It feels like an endless tunnel.
Probably 20k? We’re not hurting, but my partner is off work for disability and 20k would help extend how long they can recover for.
I mean, anything over about 1000 USD would be a big help, I had to make an unexpected visit to a sick parent that really set back my short term goals.
10k would be a nice emergency fund and I could start focusing again on things like moving to a better place (moving is expensive).
100k would mean freedom to get any transition-related surgeries I want without hassling with insurance. Or it could be rolled into a home purchase or retirement.
Currently my income isn’t great, but I can pay my bills with savings to spare, even in a nicer apartment or home.
About 40000 CAD. Could start looking for a house now instead of in a few years.
1k USD. Should be enough to leave my shithole of a country, if I’m lucky.
Which country?
probably america
3 mil so I can retire. Working toward it and I will achieve it eventually. A few decades earlier would change everything though.
About 100k. That would mean a downpayment for a house here.
6k euro for an education that I could enjoy, find employment in and be happy. 12k for the education I really want, it’s some obscure hyper specialist training on a European level (hence the cost)… I was close to finding an employer who was willing to help fund it. But I couldn’t get enough money together to make it work. Anyway, hoping to start next year with a new job in the field and work my way up, until I can afford it. Money would mean a significant shortcut in my career.
About $100k would be the delta to move where is rather be.
Enough to buy a house.
That seems like a lot for this question but it’s honestly the only thing that significantly would. Cars and goods are great but just materialistic and I can live without them just fine. But give me a place for my family and I to live and our lives would be significantly improved, because we’d not have to deal with landlords, renting, we could modify the house to our needs, have pets and not stress about constant rent hikes and the possibility of being evicted.
I think everyone should have the opportunity to own their own house and politicians are betraying society and entire generations of people by doing things that work heavily against it.
Pretty sure I would need a few million for any significant improvement, like being able to hire help around the house while still being able to afford life and save for later.
Around $3 trillion dollars so that I can buy Microsoft and shut them down, paving the way for the GNU/Linux desktop.

Better make that $100 trillion (a rough estimate of the world economy’s nominal value) to make sure you don’t cripple our whole civilisation, as it would allow you to pay for basically every single company on the planet, all of which would suddenly have to invest a lot of money to move at least some of their IT infrastructure over to a GNU/Linux equivalent, much of which may not even exist yet and would have to be built from scratch.
Fuck that shit. I’ll release all Microsoft code under GPL so people can figure their own shit out. As for people who built their business on Azure? The will reap what they sowed.
Make me your king, and I will take us to the GNU-Slash-Linux holy land.
10k would be enough for me to leave my country and start again somewhere actually decent
Exactly $148 would ensure my mortgage doesn’t default next Tuesday. This is assuming I drink a bit of cooking oil.
I’ll probably be fine. Whoever said crime doesn’t pay was a bozo.
I think about 1k USD would improve my life a lot at the moment and in the future. I’m in the process of moving countries for a job and I need to have my things shipped. I already live abroad, so I can’t leave anything behind. Anything I cannot afford to ship I will have to give away or dispose. With all the moving expenses, I have no idea how much money I have left for shipping, but 1k would allow me to ship everything stress free.
