The ultimate test and measuring stick of wealth is time. What remains scarce when all else becomes abundant is our minutes, hours, days, and years. Time is the only resource that cannot be recycled, stored, duplicated, or recovered. Money is most fundamentally tokenized time. - George Gilder Introduction Superabundance
In this excellent video, Pastor Doug Wilson ruminates on the limited nature of our time and how that relates to abundance.
Drawing from Tupy & Pooley's Book Superabundance he discusses the abundance we now live in despite our whining and complaining.
Use your time wisely and be grateful, life is short!

Time Prices - Doug Wilson
"Rich men and poor men both get sixty seconds to a minute, sixty minutes to an hour, twenty-four hours to a day, and so on up the ladder. Calculating time prices means that we take the average amount of time it takes to “purchase” a particular commodity. When the time spent on an item shrinks, this means that the purchasers are consequently wealthier in real terms. And if the currency we are using is time, there is no inflation. A minute three hundred years ago is the same as a minute now." from the video introduction
