 I love you, my love. You know I can't be with you. Hey, I'm gonna go ask people if I can mow their lawn for money. Wanna come with? How did you get in my house? And why would I do that when I could sit here and watch Netflix? Well, because sitting around and doing nothing can actually cost you money. What? Cost me money? How? It's called an opportunity cost. Anytime you do anything, you're foregoing doing something else. When you sit around watching the tube, that means you aren't putting in extra time at work to get ahead or seeking out new ways to make money on the side. So it's actually costing you what you could have made otherwise. This is obvious to people who are self-employed and set their own hours, but people who get stuck in the routine of a nine-to-five job tend to have a harder time seeing this. What? Are you saying people should always be working? Not at all. If you could make two hundred dollars today, but you chose instead to lounge around, all that means is vegging out is worth more to you than the money you could have made instead. And there's nothing wrong with that, but it's important to understand and consider the costs of your activities because we often don't. Hmm, but what if there aren't any ways to make money? Well, then there's still a cost. It just isn't a financial one. You could be learning a new skill or spending time with family and friends, but instead you're here. And once again, that isn't exactly a bad thing. Relaxing can be necessary after all, but what's important for people to realize is that nothing, literally nothing is free. Anytime you do anything, it's at the expense of doing something else. So you're telling me that everything I do has a cost? And then I can't escape this? That no matter what I do, I'll always be missing out on something else because of the limitless possibilities present within my finite life that there's only so much time to do the things that are truly worthwhile and that the only way to truly cope with this reality is to always ensure I'm getting the most out of each moment? Basically... Cool!
