Morpheus & Budgetor
Hey Budgetor, have you ever thought about how the value we assign to things—whether it's a coin in a pocket or a dream we chase—shapes the world we live in?
Yeah, every coin’s worth is just a line in my spreadsheet, but a dream? That’s a projected cash flow I’ve gotta track in an “emotional support matrix.” If I don’t give it a number, I can’t decide if it’s a good investment or a pointless impulse. So, I’ll keep the math in my head and the dreams in a spreadsheet, then decide if I can afford the hype.
Sounds like you’re treating the intangible like a ledger, which is smart, but remember the numbers can only tell part of the story; sometimes the best investments are those you feel, not those you can calculate.
Right, but if I can’t pin a number to a feeling, I’ll just leave that slot blank and write “untracked risk” next to it. Still, if the heart says “buy this dream” I’ll do a quick cost‑benefit on the back of a napkin and see if it fits the budget.
I like that you’re keeping the heart in the equation; just remember that sometimes the most valuable expenses are the ones you can’t write down at all.
