Saying no saves you time in the future. Saying yes costs you time in the future.

No is like a time credit. You can spend that block of time in the future.

Yes is like a time debt. You have to repay that commitment at some point.

No is a decision. Yes is a responsibility.

Real wealth is not about money.

Real wealth is:<br/>-not having to go to meetings<br/>-not having to spend time with jerks<br/>-not being locked into status games<br/>-not feeling like you have to say "yes"<br/>-not worrying about others claiming your time and energy

Real wealth is about freedom. Money can help achieve these things, but there are plenty of people who make lots of money yet aren't free.
