The Day Money Stopped Being Spendable
That’s the day you know you’ve finally made it to investorhood. Not that money ever really becomes unspendable, literally. However, money, as often viewed, is an output of some function. It is the end result, the hoped for turnout of some function or action. It’s something you end up wanting to spend. The remarkable day that that stops, the day when perceiving it as the end to which you aspire, the conclusion of your animations, the fruit of your labor, that is the day when you cross the invisibly thin line in the sand from being a consumer over to our side. Beast becomes Man.
The same can be said of art. The object of painting is the creation of a picture. Decoration making. All the creativity, talent, energy and inspiration get mixed and exercised and in the end we have something we can hang, or generally admire. In other words, now we can finally use it. But the moment that hanging fiction, that material object, inspires you, that is the moment when artistry makes both art and artist. That is the moment when output comes full circle; output becomes interim input.
Now this lends clarity to money. When the weight of the possibilities that making money from money becomes heavy enough, when they become more than rumor or false pretense (i.e., become more than, “you bet, I save money”), when they significantly reflect the world around you through a prism of calculation and “new” judgment, then truly, you are now more master. Isn’t that great? Now, given your new view of art, money becomes input, steroidal. Given every opportunity to spend, now, you can reverse that, and decide what you could make, were you to wait instead.
Now you can delay gratification. And when gratification does come, it will be more art than mere art. Welcome to investorhood, my friends.
If you are going to survive in these boisterious times then you have to learn how to beat the system at its own game.
