For me, it made me lazy. It did relieve some stresses, but has added others. I can't remember a time in my life I needed for anything material, so money really didn't give me anything other than more of what I had, and in some cases nicer than I already had.
I'm sure in some scenarios with the right person, it is life changing in a good way. You read stories of people who came from less than nothing, and with money were able to do wonderful things for themselves and others.

Comment on Today is my 11th Reddit Cakeday, and it is likely to be my last as an always-on user in ~talk
liftbikerun LinkAgreed, it's one of the first things I check during my day for news/entertainment/social. I just registered a few minutes ago, and I hope this will become a new home.Agreed, it's one of the first things I check during my day for news/entertainment/social.

For me the biggest issue is what you described, the community involvement with solutions. 90% of the fixes I find for things technology wise is reddit. I absolutely miss that already, and I haven't even needed it yet. I finally decided to ditch the built in media streaming on my LG OLED and go to an Apple TV. Took me about 20 seconds to Google an issue with audio sync and have it fixed on Reddit. There were absolutely zero solutions anywhere I could find except on Reddit. Greed is a really shitty thing. Reddit could have absolutely helped themselves, users, mods, and investors in this. Instead all they cared about was investors and themselves.
