As I get older, I simply have less desire for money and more desire for time. This mental shift might be just the early 40s realization that I'm mortal, but I think it's more profound.
... My anxiety is merely despair that I am wasting time that could be better spent building, writing or cooking.
I want to make things that are permanent, inspiring or just chewy. And because my head is on backward when it comes to modern capitalism I want time more than I want money.'
C. Schwarz, The Anarchist's Toolchest, p 342.
