Time and Money

Folks always seem to be planning for something, whether it be a vacation, a car, a house, new addition to the family - there always seems to be a demand on both time and money. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think so. My time and money never seem to meet in the middle. If I have the time, chances are, I'm not busy at work, thus, not producing an income. If I have the money, it's likely I've been working my "you know what" off, and only have time to catch a breather before it starts again tomorrow. This "time and money" theory, seems to be fleeting. I've tried to prove it "true" for many years now. I may have been close a couple of times, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for when I reach that goal. Plus, there seems to be external forces constantly changing the rules of engagement, making this wonderful concept elusive. How do you know when enough time is stored in your time bank, and money in the actual bank, at the same moment? I guess that depends on the task at hand, plus the cost of the task at hand. Regardless, we continue to deceive ourselves in thinking that we actually own our time and money. Time actually owns us. Time spent cannot be refunded. And then there's money. That really isn't ours either. Oh, we worked our tail off for it, but if your picture isn't on it, it's not yours! If you want to actually own your money, you need to make your own. There might be some negative response from the government if you're trying to pass bills with your picture on it though. So now that I've depressed everyone whose been saving money and banking time, let's just ignore this conundrum, and pretend this little chat never happened:)
