We find that there are no specialized tools that do just what they were designed to do, and recognize this illusion for what it is. In fact, we begin to see that the holistic goal seems more attainable. An important principle to keep in mind that time and money often are interchangeable with respect to getting a job carried out. We need to allocate our personal time carefully, in line with our holistic goal and the desired quality of life. To each of us, when we consider certain kinds of activities, time is more valuable than money.
Money can also represent other non-equivalent types of wealth.
Also, we may have vast amounts of currency in the bank, and it may become valueless by inflation, or devaluation on a global market. These forms of money have a value only to the extent that certain human opinions support that value. There is no inherent value to the paper and ink used to produce these symbols of value. We also have wealth in nonrenewable resources. We may own an oil well, which has value until the oil is gone.
