This is SO true, but it’s also the way the world looks at money, so if we do, we’ve had some help getting there.

I think what we forget about money (while we’re obsessing on the numbers) is exactly what money is. It’s mostly a metric to measure time, that is it’s what we’re willing to give up our time for. It’s the barter replacement.

In this way, it’s really is a convenience that enables to us to decide what we’ll buy in exchange for our efforts, rather than being locked into bartering for and with only those who specifically want what we have at this moment.

It’s really just an enabler, and when we think of it as being anything more than that, we can easily get caught up in that numbers game that always ends up being a Catch-22. At what point is enough enough? If it’s a numbers game, the answer to that question is “never!”. No good will come of that.

In some ways, money has been this for me, and I’m always trying to achieve balance in my life. I think that’s partly what my own blog is about. Money is just part of what a life rich in Christ is all about. Blessings!
