How is each dollar a segment of your life? You can survive just fine without money, people did it for thousands of years.

 

If I make 6 dollars an hour, a dollar represents 10 minutes, as that’s how much time it took me to earn a dollar.

If you take $600 from me, you have in effect taken 100 hours of my time away from me. I could have just done something else with those 100 hours. Something more self fulfilling then working for 6 bucks an hour.

 

I wasn't thinking of it that way, but it makes sense. I see what you're saying.

 

You mean that the money represents the time, work, and effort you've spent in your life, right? I didn't take your meaning deep enough, it seems.

 

I thought you meant that the money was your life in the way that you're life depends on the money, and you'd somehow die without it. :P
