I care too much about money
I have a good life: a good education, a high paying job, and a great relationship.
However, I keep thinking about petty money things. For example, I was laid off recently. For a few months I was searching for jobs. I didn't apply for unemployment benefits because I was well off and didn't think I should siphon funds away from people who need it. But I did a quick calculation today and realized I probably missed out a few thousands dollars.
It's not a big deal but it just bothers me that I could have had some extra $$$$ for a vacation. Same thing with the recent pandemic and stock market. I panic sold and lost a few $$$$. I could have been more savvy with my financial decisions.
Money was never my goal of doing anything. I always prioritize having a meaningful job over money lots of money. However, sometimes it bothers me that I could've made more money. But this can't be the right way to live. Anyway, just needs to get it off my chest.
