If you were rich would you still ctb?

[Ready2GoNow]

Tbh I don't think I would. Sure money doesn't directly buy happiness, but it definitely does indirectly. I'd be happy if I was living in a beach house in Hawaii, didn't have to worry about finances or anything for that matter, could hire the best therapist there is, could spend my days doing things I enjoy.

instead I'm broke as fuck, have to slave away 5 days a week in exchange for 2 days of freedom, just to earn enough to cover my bills and not much more. Can't afford to do things that bring me happiness (like travelling). Being rich would change everything. Why do some people get born into rich/loving families, and others into poor/abusive ones? What kind of shit is that

 

[Stick]

I think I'd stay at least for a little while, but I feel like money would lose its novelty after a while.
The 9 to 5 grind though is certainly not for me either.

 

[Deleted member 19654]

I don't know whether it will stop me from ctbing eventually but it would certainly make my life more comfortable before I do.

 

[tiredflower]

I feel the same way. Money is a huge worry of mine. If I could be rich and not have to work it would be even better. I fought so hard to get out of hospital after they recommended long term therapy, but I can't afford to not work. I wanted to stay tbh, so I could finally try and get better.

so fucking shitty. People say 'money doesn't equal happiness' but it really does if you're so so depressed and need help but can't physically afford to.

 

[Ghost2211]

If I were rich I would be free. I can live with health issues for the sake of others, but being so constantly vulnerable sucks.

 

[TheQ22]

No I wouldn't. But I'm poor not rich, so there's no other way. What a shitty world we live in.

 

[LastWhisper]

I have a work from home, where I earn enough money that allows me to buy almost everything I need without having to worry about it. And I even have extra money that I don't know how to spend. So I'm completely fine with my finances, but it does not prevent me from CTB.

What do you do, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[rt1989526]

Money can't undo the damage done to my brain and body by the medications.

 

[LenkaX]

If I was rich, I would cope with money. Everything is easier if you have money than if you don't. As I know myself, I wouldn't CTB if I was rich.

 

[TAW122]

I would still CTB since there are problems that money cannot resolve and also, I don't like life in general. If I were rich, I would however, stay around to enjoy wealth a bit until I got tired, then CTB.

 

[VIBRITANNIA]

i'd probably postpone my suicide. money can buy distractions and temporary joy, but at the end of the day, it can't buy me peace of mind.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

It would definitely delay my ctb

 

[LastWhisper]

What do you do, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm a programmer. But I'm living in a country where the money I earn costs a lot more than where it comes from, so I can afford the same things as people here on a pretty good job. Not a rich, but no problems with this at all.

Ah cool. You don't know how to fix wordpress problems do you lol?

 

[Infinite Conscious]

I could copy the entire first post and agree 110% with every word.
Money can definitely make all the difference in the world... there are very few things that money can't buy, directly or indirectly.

And I wouldn't even ask to be filthy rich... just - "a little" rich.
A million would do the job. Euros, dollars, pounds, any would do.
And a million is like peanuts for today's multi-billionaires.

This doesn't mean that I wouldn't off myself eventually... but I would first spend the money, traveling, snorting, enjoying.
What a week it would be, with a million bucks... With 10M, a month... and so forth.
Pure, sophisticated, hedonism.

But somehow I don't believe I would become a profit junky, like 99% of all the rich people are.

 

[LastWhisper]

Depends on what problems you mean, I have worked with wordpress a bit.

 

[Worthless_nobody]

No, I would 100% postpone ctb. I could get treatments I can't afford, I would be able to lead a much better life because being poor and having mental/physical issues is worse than rich with issues. With money I could be helped. In the end no I'll still ctb once my family is dead.

 

[sadgirl9999]

i would still CTB, 1000%. money can't cure my diseases or mental illness, i've tried all the treatments available anyways. i don't care about anything else

This!! You summed it up perfectly. I'm devastated I literally cannot afford to get any help to try and see if I can lead a better life. Thanks to the atrocious health care system in my country my options are go in debt, suffer, or die. It's such bs.

 

[Panna]

I doubt it, money can't fix social skills, you also cant buy friends with it, as a kid richy rich taught me this heh.

they don't give us much chance do they! Yet they're quick to jump on websites like this and try and ban them. Fucking fed up of it all!!

 

[Rue89]

I would ctb eventually, after I enjoy some of the distractions that money can buy, then I'd buy N and ctb.

 

[LonelyNick]

Yes. Money can't buy health or love.

 

[Worthless_nobody]

Nope they give us no chance. I have begged and begged for help but money always stands in my way. It's so messed up I can buy so many things to ctb with yet I can't get one bit of actual help for my mental/physical issues because I can't afford it. I'm in US and people say "just get on Medicaid"...sadly it's not that easy for many people.

its so so messed up. I can't imagine what it's like in the US having to find healthcare. I'm in the UK however, albeit different, I can't afford to be In hospital. I'm self employed, so wouldn't get any money for being off sick. Therefore would lose my house. If I ever went in hospital, I'd come out homeless. Can't win

 

[ready 2 go]

I might stay a little longer if I was rich, but ultimately money can't buy happiness. I'd grow tired of my riches after a while and still go through with ctb

More money would actually enable me to die in a more peaceful way funny enough. I could afford N

 

[TheQ22]

Yes. Money can't buy health or love.

You mean health or a strange combination of hormones and chemical reactions in the brain.

 

[Infinite Conscious]

And which country would that be?
Just curious, not that any country would have a significantly better mental health care system... they probably suck everywhere.
If the people from the US and UK are dissatisfied with their HCS's, imagine what people from poorer countries would say.
Is ANYONE satisfied with their country's health care system?

 

[TheQ22]

Is ANYONE satisfied with their country's health care system?

Yes the doctors and physicians and MH workers ho earn lots of money for not doing much.

They love it.
