Your Money or Your Life

I believe that money
is essentially infinite.
It is something

that humans invented
in the first place,
and

・people work,
・spend,
・and invest...

As long as we are trying
to grow the economy
in this way,

the government can print
more money to match
that scale.

Certainly, there is a
huge gap between those who have a lot of money
and those who do not,

and that has remained unchanged throughout history.

We are lucky, and it is a privilege
to live in a democratic
capitalist society.

✅ Means of earning money

are, naturally,
easily and abundantly
available to us.

However, most of the world...

The reality is that billions of people
live in countries where they are not
given the opportunity to earn.

(In places like Bangkok,
women with children are begging on the streets
in the scorching heat (over 35 degrees Celsius).)

However, theoretically,
there is enough money in the world
for everyone to have...

✅ Enough money
　to have all the money they need

is the point.

The problem is...

that many people do not
take advantage of that opportunity, and without thinking of
other ways to increase their income,

✅ They just accept
　the amount of money
　that the company pays them.

That is the point.

"I want to earn more..."

Although you say that with your mouth,
all your free time

・Watching Netflix
・Having a nightly drink every day
・Playing games

You are just wasting it.

On the other hand, unlike money,
time is inherently
finite.

In "Your Money or Your Life",
Vicki Robin

asks the following
simple but extremely important
question.

✅ How much is
　your life time
　worth?

✅ What would you be
　willing to exchange
　your life time for?

✅ How much would you need to be paid
　to be willing to give up
　your time?

Probably...

・Netflix
・Nightly drinks
・Games

are not the answers
that would come up,
right?
