I think we as Americans place too much emphasis on time and money.

"Don't waste your time/money on that!"
"Is playing 80 hours of Playstation over the course of the past 2 and a half weeks really a good investment of your time?"
"Time is money!"

Should I feel bad for "spending" on something I enjoy? If this overvaluation of time and money is the epitome of American value, we as idyllic Americans should all sell our material possesions, make prudent investment decisions, and commit a crime like embezzelment so that we can be sent away to a minimum-security prision where we will have lots of time and we won't need to spend our money. You know, I don't know if money or time are all that important to me anymore...
