Meh. Come out with the hard truth, most expenditures we make are not fulfilling. The idea that we are spending money to gain something is a bullshit lie we convince ourselves of. Unfortunately non-tangible investments are the most terrifying expenditures. You physically have nothing to show for the money you no longer have and you question its validity and go so far as to course correct and buy something you can hold onto forever. What are these expenditures? Donations, endowments, and just using some of your means to give to someone who can benefit more than you could ever imagine. You know your neighbor who could use a night off, deliver dinner to them and their family. Your cousin who just got out on his own, deliver a weeks worth of essentials from Walmart. I could go on and on, but my personal way of expending my disposable income now a days is to do a free to sub-$100 favor for someone I know would appreciate help, but is too proud to ever ask for something that they weren’t deathly desperate of needing. You come off as an empathetic and generous human being and you don’t ever feel taken advantage of because you’re the one who initiated it.
