I like have 3 bank accounts, paycheck split between first 2...1. Bills, this should have the whole month worth of bills covered + 10 % for some variable stuff like electric or water. 2. Play money, this is whatever money I have left over after filling the bills account as needed. I can use this money for whatever I want as long as it covers the cost. I am lazy and want to order delivery, account 2. I want a new game to play, account 2. I want to go out to the movies account 2. As long as account 1 is not touched everything should be covered. The third account is savings. At the end of every month I empty account 1 and account 2 and put left over into account 3. You have an emergency, your car breaks down, your partner is breaks a bone, a large gang of monkeys break in and steal all your bananas.. Take the money for the expenses from account 3.You may need to adjust the date of transfer for your situation for example make sure there is the rent money in account 1 on the first, don't empty it out on the 31st. It requires some tuning for timing of transfers and percentage of over paying into the bills account for variations but generally works well for me.

    Only thing I can think of as logical is if they think the world's happiness is zero-sum so if kids are sad there is more happiness for them to have???

    Maybe if they are sad the kids deserve to be sad too???

    Either way... Seek help because those are not good ways of thinking

    I never understand these types of actions(the destruction I mean). Like ok, you're a criminal... You steal from a store, you get a benefit (what ever you stole)... You kill someone, you were worried for the rest of your life(either they were going to kill or harm you or you were going to be caught and go to jail).. You rape someone, you couldn't control your emotions or desires... You drink and drive or do drugs, ok you get some sense of pleasure from the chemicals... Maybe you destroy property because you feel like it violated your rights(flock cameras). Not condoning these acts but I can kind of see the logic.

    This was like thinking "these kids don't deserve happiness" ... The fuck is wrong with you?
