If you’re only thinking of a single month, sure. But $20 is $20.

If someone gave you $240 every year for Xmas would you be stoked or would that feel insignificant?

I would be stoked, depending on the source. But with that I could take a noticeable chunk out of debt/buy a good pair of boots/use as a down payment on something.

But 20 a month would not make a noticeable difference, even if the end result would be the same. I can’t do anything with 20 dollars a month that I cannot do now.
