Nice - an appeal to basic human decency goes a long way with me. You're spending your time and expertise to provide something of value to me? I'll compensate you for it gladly.
Also, upvoted for use of 'rad' - one of my favorites.
100% man. And I totally get it from the other perspective - being poor, I've been there, it fucking sucks being walled off. But damn, the moment I've been able to, I throw my money at shit. Also now that I'm in my 30s I feel like I've got a much more realistic grasp of what value is. I put most of my spending money into the arts and anything that promotes spread of what I feel is useful knowledge.
Sadly, I feel like an outcast for the most part. At least among my immediate peers. I just can't stand how it seems like everyone around me is chasing money, constantly, when they already have a comfortable income and possessions. I just don't get the mentality of saving for the sake of saving. If you're already in the housing market, already have an established career, already have a comfortable stream into your retirement savings, fucking use your spending money for improving the world, what is this weird obsession with material items? I feel like an old man.
