The amount of money in your bank account magically doubles RIGHT NOW, does it make a big difference? Does it change your life at all? (lemmy.world)

Having been recently opted for a voluntary layoff to avoid my team needing to lose anyone, I'm in a spot where I can finally relax, maybe take a vacation, and center myself to decide what my next move is. It will likely be another management position, but I have the luxury of not needing to rush to answer that question. I have an idea for a project that I started working on and could turn into a business idea. Doubling my money would mean I have more time to relax and figure myself out (I've been VERY stressed, and didn't even realize it until I left). Ultimately, I'll get bored, and having more money to do something with would mean I could throw more money at the stock market to try to improve my retirement.

Does doubling my money change much? Hard to say. In the short term, no. Long term, probably.
