I wish I had 15k in my checking account

Gotta stop with the avo toast and Starbucks, then you'll be there in a matter of weeks.

$15k, even if you have it, is way too much to leave sitting in a checking account. At the very least invest it in something with high liquidity like the VOO

I'm convinced any excess I get my house or car know about and conspire to drain it as fast as possible. They'll fail even when they worked completely fine before I had that money.

Looks like you got a nice $2k bonus... be a shame if this radiator suddenly burst and even the mechanics can't explain why. Must have been a factory defect.

You gotta spend it as fast as possible before it can get sapped away.

Savings and investments are for born winners. The rest of us gotta grab what we can when we can.
