100$ per diem is pretty nice op

I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're foreign or something, but I loving HATE this increasing tendency of people to put the dollar sign after the number.

"One hundred DOLLARS.... uh, ok, so that's 100... $"

You see it everywhere now.

Did people not go to elementary school? Are their brains fully rotted from neverending short form video content?

Actually $100 is pretty weird when you think about it, is there anything else where we put the unit of measurement before the measurement? We don't even use ˘10 and we would never say Dollars 100.

Let's say your house is paid off in full, and you have money set aside for ALL your bills. Your property taxes, insurance, internet, electric, etc... is covered. And you have $5k set aside as an emergency fund.

You are left with about $3k a month to spend on food and disposable income, as everything else is covered. That'll be about $100 per day for you to spend.

Will you be happy with this much money? That $100 has to cover your food and to keep you entertained.

"oh no only $36500/year, which is approximately the median income in the us, for food and entertainment with all other costs covered"

OP I would be very happy with that because I already live on less including all my bills, and I buy poo poo I don't need whenever I want and am remodeling my house. Would definitely want a larger emergency fund though especially if that income wasn't coming from savings I could liquidate if poo poo happens.

It tells your brain to get ready for thinking about money, otherwise you’d be halfway through a sentence then wondering where all of these numbers were coming from all of a sudden and what could they possibly mean?

If I buy 1 egg a day I can grow 1 chicken a day after however many days it takes for an egg to become a fully grown chicken. Then I can sell the chicken meat.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I am super curious, what was the context of this? At first that seems do-able, but it's really not a lot in contemporary times, nor is it much in the face of inflation.
