      Will all due respect to your cat (please pet it for me), I’d definitely choose lack of the existential dread over my future financial situation over a pet.

        I don’t think you can just choose between a pet and money. It’s a choice between a pet and a lifetime of being sheltered from the real world while sycophants constantly try to suckle some “success” from you. If I could take the money I’d take it without question even if I couldn’t have a pet for the rest of life, but if I had to choose the life I have vs the life Musk has had, I’d probably choose my life.
