I was talking to someone a few days ago, and he was talking about how he was going to pay his rent and how it was giving him sleepless nights. Of course, he did not anticipate that renewing his rent would always be a problem. One year may seem like a long time to renew a rent, but when you consider the cost, it can feel like you are wasting money.
So this person was complaining that the money he pays for rent is not always worth it; apparently, he did a rough estimate of how much he has paid in three years and believes that he could have put that money to better use. I have been to this guy's house, and it is pure luxury; it is a private residential area with some of life's good things.
I was envious of the place when I went there about two years ago, and I knew it would be expensive. Luxury is expensive, and this guy chose luxury; however, it is (luxury) subscription-based, and you must have enough money to sustain it. People used to say that owning a house was a waste of money, but renting is becoming more expensive, and realtors are becoming the biggest financial criminals in town, but that is not the focus of this post.
Time Is Shorter Than We Perceive
Most people believe that the next payment will be made decades later after paying rent, but time passes with each breath we take, and bills continue to read and pile up even while we sleep. Unfortunately, many people do not earn money while they sleep.
We live a subscription-based lifestyle, and sometimes time passes faster than we can earn the next cash needed to pay the next bill.
Earning more means having more needs, and the faster the money arrives, the more eager we are to tackle the next financial responsibility. Unfortunately, life can happen, such as losing a job or being unable to earn money.
In reality, the biological and systemic structure of the human framework is also subscriptional, which explains why life can feel cyclical. We do almost the same thing every day, except for a few events that throw us off balance; whether good or bad, these things happen, and if they don't, life goes on as usual.
There is no one-time payment in life, which is why it feels exhausting to constantly pay and pay and pay, and over-emphasizing is the only way to truly paint a perfect picture. The person I mentioned was disappointed by how much they had to pay each year, owing primarily to the fact that they no longer earned as much as they once did.
No Time To Slip-Up
My rent is due in about 20 days, and my landlord has reminded me to prepare the money for payment. It was not that I was not preparing; in fact, I had already begun planning for the next payment. I had never been evicted by a landlord before, and I did not want to be.
Unfortunately, we have to do whatever it takes to survive. The subscription-based nature of life can be exhausting, but if you fall off, you are off track and it is over.
