Time is money, but not quite in the literal sense that your time should be thought of in terms of its potential for literal, monetary profitability;

Rather, time is money in the sense that it is the primary currency that exists for all beings. The economy of the universe is communist in this sense; there is a universal basic income afforded to all that is both our economic floor and ceiling. The allotment to each being is afforded daily — can you guess its quantity? It is that day.

We are all given the same amount of time. You might think, “that’s not true — what about people who die young?” And yet, who is ever truly promised tomorrow? All that we ever truly have is right now; in this sense, we all have the same amount of opportunity for meaningful life, for a life well-lived. 

All that we are ever truly given is today. All that we are ever truly given is this very moment. It is up to you how you spend this most fundamental currency. Time is money in that we all, more or less, have the very same amount of it to spend. You can be someone with all the money in the world who wasted all of their time; you can be someone of humble socioeconomic status who spent every second to its highest and most beautiful potential. 

Who is ever truly promised tomorrow? You still may wonder, “what about those who die young?” And yet, there are people who live long lives who never truly live; there are people who die young who made every second — or cent, maybe — count. 

Time is money. Time is the only resource you ever truly have…

How will you spend it?
