Philosophy

“I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself” - Henry Ford

have been thinking about this quote a lot

there is the financial interpretation of this quote:

"i should spend $100 more on a apartment that will make me work 10% better"

"I should get better clothes that make me feel 20% better about myself, which will make me work 15% better"

 but also the philosophical interpretation

"if i get good grades in school i will get a good job"

"if i get a good job i will save money"

"if i can save money I can do xyz thing"

this promotes a culture of living to work, instead of working to live, which leads us to where we are socially as a world today 🤷‍♂️  (although, you should 100% love what you do)

don't take my casts super seriously please (most of them at least)
