AITA for thinking most people who say “$1000 would change my life” would certainly not have their lives changed by that money? In this example, with the new phone being pointed out (4000 for tuition aside), I cant help but imagining he’d just buy a new computer or a pile of games.
Realistically what can $1000 buy (in the US) that actually changes a life?
