Free Time could be $$$ time as well. For if we spend that time learning and developing a new skill whether it be painting, playing an instrument, or philosophizing we might eventually earn more from that expertise then the 9-5 work we are pulled into day by day. We have to earn a living to pay for the basics but I wonder if some of those basics should be free time to grow? If only I could take an hour or so back from producing the bacon (Turkey of course) and instead learned how the bacon was made/drawn instead I might be rolling in a bit more hay today or at least enjoying it more.
