The More You Have the Less You Do

Ever notice how the more dispensable finances you have the less you do?

Consider it:

When you’re dirt poor you wash your own car and change your own oil.
Then you get some more money and suddenly it’s the car wash and Jiffy Lube

You’re still not very well off so you make your own coffee and take leftovers for lunch.
Then you get some more money and suddenly its Starbucks and lunch out.

As the money income rises, so does your ability to do anything it seems:

Instead of mowing your lawn and trimming the bushes you hire a service to do it.

Then you have no time for family events you’re out on the town with a baby sitter at home.

Then instead of using Turbo tax you start using a tax service.

Then instead of cleaning the house you hire a maid service.

Then instead of driving you have a limousine service.

Then instead of caring for your children you have a full-time nanny.

Then instead of cooking you always eat out or have staff to prepare it.

Then instead of thinking about money you have an accountant.

Then instead of worrying you have a personal law firm and lawyer.

Then instead of the hassle of the airports and time schedules you simply charter your private plane.

Then you have an entourage of people surrounding you with security, advice, entertainment and anything else they can do to help you avoid doing anything.

If people didn’t die, this process would end up just like the Star Trek episode where the people are nothing but brains…

So how brainy are you on the scale?
