Chase Time NOT Money

Greetings,

I’m writing this from my office on Corn Island after a day in Bluefields rectifying something in the registration so my neighbour could finally become the rightful owner of his land. If you don’t remember that story from behind it’s not important or the purpose of this post.

You should all be chasing time, not money. Money is infinite and time is finite; if that wasn’t enough we all know about “leather seat syndrome” right? You get a new car and some asshole asks you about every little feature smiling more and more until they ask you if you have leather seats… You say no and then they become deflated and look at you as though you own some piece of shit.

We shouldn’t care about what that guy or girl thinks but life is a little strange. Time is so precious and even if your’e seen as wasting some here and there from a productivity point of view, just remember we were never really put here to do anything. You think a cow fucking cares if it becomes a good steak or if its milk is of the highest quality?

Some of us will always try and live to a higher standard but the ultimate form of wealth is time. Without time you’re still poor. If getting rich to make it rain is what you’re all about, keep chasing your tail but if you want to really do what you want while you’re alive consider this a friendly reminder that you’ll need time.

In other news, construction starts again next Monday and all the supplies needed for the final push on the small property arrived on Saturday. This isn’t costing me that much financially but when it comes to time it’s taking a big withdrawal; that said I’ve got lots.

I mention this because I know many friends far wealthier financially than myself that would love to do something similar but they have no time – to build, travel or enjoy it…

That’s all for now.

Tips hat,

    I retired 4 yrs ago at 42 when I could have easily worked another 10yrs and made way more money but why? I’d be 10yrs older and have far less time left

    Indeud. Punched out from the 9-to-5 a couple of years ago myself, never regretted it. If I’m to have 20 years of retirement, why not the 45-65 bracket with a high probability of getting all 20 of those years, than the 65-85 bracket with a questionable probability of getting 20 years, and a low probability that even if I do get all 20 years that they’ll be great ones.

    Not Sure if you really enjoy your time that much? I also live a way too carefree life and any place I been to there are always a ton of new friends and hugs all around. U Never really talk about that much? Oh Well, Life is Short and Way too Much Fun.
