Money is Fun!
November 26, 2009
I write a lot about the serious side of money – investments, planning, emotions, spiritual potential. But I probably don’t write enough about how money is fun. Of course, it’s fun because of all the fun things we can do with it. But for many people – and I’m one of them – money is just plain fun. I enjoy counting it, projecting forward to calculate how much it can grow to, watching it circulate around the world, converting it into its many different forms, using it to solve problems and, most of all, observing its relationship to its owner.
Interestingly, I’m not particularly fond of numbers. I don’t like working with them in other contexts. It’s working with them when they’re attached to money that I enjoy.
Now I do realize that all this probably makes me sound quite superficial. But my appreciation of money is a bit like the appreciation a gardener has for good tools or a craftsman has for his shop. Money is my workshop and I love it!
