<prompt> Human: Ok, so here is my question in a nutshell. If I make really good money lets just say that Im not hurting, Does it make sense for me to sell stuff that I dont use anymore on Craigslist or OfferUp at the risk of not making it home alive according to my wife just to make a few dollars back on my investment? Has anyone else came across this conundrum with their self or with a spouse? On my journey to financial independence, I feel that I should recoup from past investments, is this logical thinking?  <response>: Why would you not make it home alive? Because CL is shady or something? Or because youre selling your pacemaker? It sounds like this post is seeking validation. So, yes, more money is good, unless you need that money to buy something that saves your life.
