Easy RED

My dad has paid all of my living expenses for the past 5 years, plus kicking in where my student loans didn't, so I estimate $100k in debt to my awesome dad.

I have no realistic way to pay this off, and I know how much it would mean to him to KNOW that I never wanted to borrow anything, and that I wasn't just taking advantage because I could get away with it. I mean, he believes it, and it's true, clearly, but to really know is different.

Plus a recent visit to the ER, with no insurance, and my teeth need serious attention.

I've been broke for too long to pass up a sure thing.

If it was $1k or $100k... then GREEN

Re. the 'if it's 1k and 100k then definitely pick green'. That's exactly what utility of money theory predicts.

HAHA you guys thought you were being clever when your behaviour was already explained by theory! neener neener neeeeener

Yeah indeed. I think this thread illustrates how there's a HUGE gap between $1000 and $100K, but anything above a million is basically a very large number for most of us, and we don't really care what multiple of million we have in our account.
