On my walk home, I had a though on how is randomly founding money is better than saving, but then I realised the consistency of saving money, as opposed to finding it, and more options came up after some extra thought. Inner conflicts happened and instead I ask the internet on what is better with an online poll.
A more detailed explanation on the choices:
- You Found $100: You just $100 on the floor and no one else picked it up.
- You Saved $100: You saved $100 from a discount on something expensive you wanted, or something similar.
- You were Donated $100: Somebody (either a family member, friend, a total stranger, etc.) gave you $100 unexpectedly.
I didn't add the Earning $100 option to the poll, due to being too easy to just vote on and just a thought experiment on what if you gained an additional amount of money you didn't expect.
