It's just plain difficult to lead a good life amidst the current economic suffocation. Luckily, you and your wife are weathering the storm well, I think she's done a good thing standing in for you till your pay arrives. I wish you the best with coping with the situation. 

I do often wonder if it's possible to become a Billionaire without some sort of psychological compulsive obsessive disorder.  To create situations where you're earning so much money that you, your family and your future generations couldn't possibly spend, usually to the detriment of others. 

I personally prefer to save, because I'm not confident we'll have enough for retirement in a couple of decades, but my partner is far more likely to spend on having an enjoyable time now.  I do wonder if she remembers all the previous delicious restaurant meals, etc, or is it only the next one that matters?  In which case it's not really about the collecting or collection, but the enjoyment of the now. 

I know it probably doesn't help much, but the pump isn't that hard to replace. Taking the frame off the unit is honestly the hardest part.  We had a sock stuck in our pump one time and I had to tear the thing apart to get it out.  I didn't know what was causing the problem until I got the whole thing opened up.  Hopefully you can get back on track soon. I know the unexpected stuff like this can be hard to cope with at times.

It’s certainly annoying but the washer pump is incredibly easy to replace. A lot of them have a panel on the back you can pop off and you have full access to it. Pop the electrical clip off, change the pump and hook it back up. Hopefully they will pay for it all but if they don’t, keep that in your back pocket! Pumps are like 40$ these days. 

It feels like these things come as the toughest situations pile up. Hopefully this is the last of the damn curve balls man! Jeez lol. 

I know that there are a lot of people who have the wrong mindset when it comes to the future and trying to invest and save something for it. A lot of time and money spent chasing stupid stuff, but I guess we each have our own definition of stupid. I would much rather do something that a friend of mine wouldn’t want to do and them the opposite. I guess that’s the good and unique thing about being human, different tastes for different people. 

>  Even the people who give up everything but what they need to survive, are collecting something, even if it is imaginary points they believe they need, for an imaginary afterlife.

I think being a collector and then letting go is kind of a cycle. When both those things we get tired of is when life kind of gets boring and then just becomes harder to live as well. I feel it's a good for emotional health to be a collector of memories. :)

That type of scene also happened to me but I can handle it it's all right 

I was just thinking how alone I felt in the middle of the party, as most of them were thinking of such different ways of living than me. Thanks to Hive I met some similar people. Should we stop drinking? Maybe?

  i put myself in your shoes, I just returned from vacation and my washing machine is having problems so it needs to be repaired, tomorrow the technician is coming, in addition to other expenses that have just arisen with my car.

The corrective maintenance collection list started with the budget (money) in contraction, starting January. 🤔🫣

It sucks to hear that the machine is having issues and that you had to deal with so many issues. Life sucks and I think times will be rough for at least the next few years. With all the layoffs that I keep hearing about in the news, I think we definitely need to stay positive. In a way, I think we all desire some things and money is just a part of the equation that makes more sense to people. Unless you are part of the top percentage of people who have too much money.

Is there are deadline on when you can claim damages from the heating company? It is good if you can immediately tell a problem like the washing machine. But what if some internal pipes were weakened, and give out some time down the line [I hope it doesn't]? It is good that you have money saved up to cover the initial expenses, hopefully the reimbursement is fast.

Out of all you wrote, it just make me feel like you’re teaching me how to get prepared for marital life, lol
Or adulthood because my dad pays everything for me and a time will come when he won’t do that again
Adulthood is full of bills and it is tiring 

Even though you only vaguely touched on the border of a few ideas of existentialism I still feel like you might be interested in reading some Ernest Hemingway novels if you haven't already XD

<sub>I'm pretty sure there's other existentialist writers but that was the one I remember from English Lit</sub>

Sucks that insurance wouldn't cover it (hope they're good for anything else otherwise may as well just drop them as a waste of money) but good that the heating company did.

Good luck getting the washing machine repaired or replaced :S

>are collecting something, even if it is imaginary points they believe they need, for an imaginary afterlife.

I think that there is still no answer about the posthumous existence of consciousness. Remember, for example, the ghost of your house.

Of course, today money means almost everything in this life and it is not easy to earn it, but spend. As we say here;

*Money is in the mouth of lion.*
