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
