The relationship between money and time is at least a 24
dimensional object, and what it results in? STRESS if you're not
sitting in the middle, which is quite nearly impossible.
Back in October '13 I came to this conclusion - and being a 24
dimensional object, is it a very complicated object for humans
to work with.
My thinking is this:
You can have the past, the present, the future.
You can have more money, less money.
You can have more time, less time.
So I graphed them out. This looks like a corner three faces of a
cube coming together, but it's really a 24 dimensional object.
(I'm not going to play with ''rotations'' or things moving in
and out. Your computer screen and mine and paper are FLAT and
getting 3D onto 2D is annoying enough).
The yellow spot in the middle? SAME MONEY, SAME TIME, FOREVER.
That's the stress free spot.
Everywhere else whether in the past (the \ ), the future (the /
) or right now (the | ) - you can have:
SAME TIME | SAME MONEY
SAME TIME | MORE MONEY
SAME TIME | LESS MONEY
MORE TIME | SAME MONEY
LESS TIME | SAME MONEY
LESS TIME | LESS MONEY
LESS TIME | MORE MONEY
MORE TIME | LESS MONEY
MORE TIME | MORE MONEY
and to me, that's why trying to get it ''all figured out'' is so
difficult - especially when you're working with bills and such.
You're weighting all of these these different things EMOTIONALLY
when you think about money and time.
In some cases, the emotions are some versions of happiness, or
some versions of sadness, or some versions of confusion; how you
interpret it is an individual thing I think.
But the only way to escape any emotions from the relationship
between time and money is to have the same time, same money,
forever - absolute balance.
And... mind you... this is just for a single /money-time thing,
like a Credit Card, or a Stock. There are so many things that
make these happen, which people smarter than me already know how
to measure.
But I understand a little better why the average person (like
me, who just thinks of things differently than most I suppose) -
usually gets such headaches when figuring out the ''my money
situation''. Sooo many calculations that are very difficult to
visualize at the same time.
And there you have it. Right or wrong or nonsensical or genius,
there it is. -Kenneth Udut
