"It is fruitless to save money if you don’t know why exactly your are saving it for."

• erichocean 7y ago
  Time, unlike money, can't be meaningfully saved and then used later. You have to use it immediately.

    That's not how people perceive their time, despite time and their lives being ultimately wasted.

    "I ask you, what does a day saved matter to him or to you? A day saved from what? for what? Instead of spending the day travelling, you will see your friend a day earlier, but you cannot stay indefinitely, you will travel home twenty-four hours sooner, that is all. But you will fly home and again save a day? Save it from what, for what? You will begin work a day earlier, but you cannot work on indefinitely. It only means that you will cease work a day earlier. And then, what? You cannot die a day earlier. So you will realize perhaps how rash it was of you to save a day, when you discover how you cannot escape those twenty-four hours you have so carefully preserved; you may push them forward and push them forward, but some time they must be spent, and then you may wish you had spent them as innocently as in the train from Ostend."

  Nothing could be further from the truth. Whoever said that does not understand compound interest.
