I’ll be honest – in my opinion, money is important. Whether the concept of wealth is a big corporate conspiracy (!), or a meticulously devised social construct, I have to admit that money plays a big role in my life. Not the amount of it, just the concept itself. I equate money to time and freedom. When I think about earning money, I feel like I sacrifice my time, and in some cases, my freedom, to obtain it. And therefore, in my mind, when I spend money, I feel like I am giving up my time (and sometimes freedom) to obtain a good or a service.
