Zach Newton, Epilogue, Question 6

The part that I found most interesting in this chapter was when Wheelan talks about the time it costs to buy a loaf of bread in several years. I know Marissa already mentioned the quote about time becoming more important than money, but this section reminded me of a movie I watched a while back that I think I have just now begun to fully appreciate. I can't remember what the movie was called, but the premise was that time was literally money. The rich lived forever and the poor died young.  The plot line consisted of a poor man who was the caretaker of his mom who was trying to crawl his way out of poverty by pretending to be rich and essentially stealing time from the wealthy after his mom died before he could transfer extra time to her account. This movie strikes me now as being extremely close to where we are headed. While we will probably never literally live or die by a bank account of time, we already live or die by our work. As we have talked about in class so much recently, work has become a necessity instead of a love for what we do. Without proper balance, we quickly find ourselves working for more leisure time, even though work takes up a massive portion of our lives.
