    Probably find a way to waste it without affecting anything.

    I make 1000€ per month more than 5 years ago. Didn’t affect anything. You always seem to increase your monthly expences with equal ammount. Buy slightly better clothes, more expensive food, get a new pet, etc. and it all just disappears.

      Is being able to afford these things really not affecting anything?

      Especially the pet sounds like quite a difference to me.

        We already had a pet, so it was to make the pet happier, but it was a bad example.

        For example in food you can buy the cheap tortured chiken or organicly grown outdoor chiken. It’s still the same chicken. You just feel a bit better when you think about it.

        Little improvements like this are a money sink and you can easily sink a 1000€ per month without really changing you everyday life.
