”The Space-Time-Money Continuum”
“Let’s see where that money can go: $8,485 spread over a year gives you $707 more money each month. For your alternate wheels and outerwear, let’s take back $10 per day. You’ve still got a bit over $400 and that can buy a lot of space. Literally. Add that to your rent or mortgage and maybe you can increase your living space. Or, you can pay down the distance between you and the places you like to go. Move closer to a transit stop, or to a neighborhood with more things to do. When you buy space—distance, really—you get time for free. Buy one, get one. Buy space, get time. Now, the grocery store is around the corner, not around the Beltway. The hair salon is next door, not in the next county. The movie theater is a 10 minute walk, not a 10 mile drive. But, what you’re really buying are choices. Simple, right? Hardly.”
