Posted on: June 26th, 2008 So… You Don’t Have Time to Read This?
The average human being will be substantially richer in 50 years, just as the average American today has a real income three times what it was in 1955. But the average human being will not have much more time in 50 years than today; and life expectancy has increased by only 10 percent in the U.S. since 1955, so for most people time has become relatively scarce compared to money.
Stop crying about your lack of time now.
