I think the same view could be taken for time. In the case of "Money as time-to-deadline" you already touch on it. So it doesn't involve only money to buy other peoples time, it is also the money you make in your own time (you already mention it in your post "Time and Money"). I would even hazard the guess, that people good at the "Money as time-to-deadline" approach, are also good in managing their own time, and vice versa. Interesting approach to money.

I am now 35, with a little bit more than $0 in the 401(k) :) But at least I know enough to know that you do NOT get rich off books unless you are J. K. Rowling. Sadly, I haven't yet figured out my true get-rich path. Guilty as charged, except worse.

If so, how do you reconcile your financial plight with an amazing breadth of knowledge about finance and money? I say this as an old retired guy who has heard a lot of BS over the years. You should take your mastery of metaphor and expand it into book length and get rich! Are you really the “ahem” guy, age 30 with zero dollars in your pocket?

Living in India as an American expat, I enjoyed thinking about your metaphors from two world views. Credit cards are very fashionable among my Indian friends, but are not treated as an excuse to live beyond one's means. Fiscal discipline reigns supreme. On an unrelated note, I love that I was able to find this posting months after you wrote it because of Twitter. Cheers, ~C A great read, Venkatesh.

But, you're right on the money (pun intended). Our experiences with money - especially early in life - influence our adult attitude and behavior with our finances. This impacts our relationships with others, in addition to career. Really interesting analysis! But, you’re right on the money (pun intended).
