Significantly?
Like, significantly? Like shit isn't the same in a year?
30k. I could probably invest less than that and get where I need to be, but that'd complete what me and my gf want in hand for a house downpayment.
I guess it all depends on how significant significant is. Probably 10k so I don't have to worry so much about affording an upcoming surgery.
Probably no amount.
We aren't crazy wealthy, but we have enough equity in a high value real estate market that if we sold our house and moved to many places I'm the world we could live well without being required to work. As a result we have asked ourselves many times: "where would we go and what would we do?" And don't have a better place then we are (near both our families) or our current jobs. Our kids are in school, so traveling is limited, since we don't want to make home schooling our job.
The only thing I wish we could afford is first class airfare when we do fly once a year or so, but I wouldn't call that life changing.
Thatβs awesome! I ask this question to myself every so often because I want to be able to answer like you can.
Congratulations!
50k should be enough to get a mortgage and buy a house. Enough to buy a house outright would obviously be better.
However much all of the dental work that I need done costs
it's worth going in and finding out.
And they seriously screw insurance companies so if you're uninsured you can get work done much cheaper than you might think.
my bills always had about half the items struck just because I was paying out of pocket.
$250000, I'd purchase a small flat between the suburbs and the city and not rent any longer
More than money, friends, that would improve my mental health and my life quality significantly, sometimes I just need someone to talk, I have no one most of the time, and that really mekes my depression more hard to manage, otherwise I would say 20k (I'm mexican so that would be like 360k mexican pesos), that could give me the opportunity to live near my university for almost 4 years, manage to get therapy consistently and found some projects I would love making, but yeah that's not gonna happen so I'll say 50 usb dollars for a gift to my brother
38k uk pounds. Thats the amount of student debt which is slowly becoming crippling since the uk are raising the % higher and higher.
It can't go above 9% of salary though. Treat it like a tax unfortunately.

$2.73 would buy lunch tomorrow
About 100K euros.
About a million euros to buy an apartment outright.
About $160k. That would be enough for me to graduate med school or a Masters program (which also offered me scholarships) debt free with my current savings!
About 100k. That would mean a downpayment for a house here.
6k euro for an education that I could enjoy, find employment in and be happy. 12k for the education I really want, it's some obscure hyper specialist training on a European level (hence the cost)... I was close to finding an employer who was willing to help fund it. But I couldn't get enough money together to make it work. Anyway, hoping to start next year with a new job in the field and work my way up, until I can afford it. Money would mean a significant shortcut in my career.
Pretty sure I would need a few million for any significant improvement, like being able to hire help around the house while still being able to afford life and save for later.
45k⬠to pay off my car and 250k⬠for a downpayment for a house which is not near to any neighbors.
I think about 1k USD would improve my life a lot at the moment and in the future. I'm in the process of moving countries for a job and I need to have my things shipped. I already live abroad, so I can't leave anything behind. Anything I cannot afford to ship I will have to give away or dispose. With all the moving expenses, I have no idea how much money I have left for shipping, but 1k would allow me to ship everything stress free.
30k. Iβve got some car debt and other random things that need to get paid off. Having that extra monthly cash instead of payments and the pleasure of being 100% debt free would improve my overall happiness.
Like, per month or a lump sum?
10 dollars to buy a tall boy and a frozen pizza
About 15k euro or so. I could go to a school program to learn how to code without my financial situation declining because of medical costs i have for a chronic condition.
