why choose what to pay?
twelve pounds sounds like a lot
or not very much at all
it really depends
on who you are
on where in the world you are
on your circumstances
in life
twelve pounds sounds like an absolute figure
but in life it is not
it is relative to your situation
i start with twelve pounds because it's an easy number to understand
a dozen
a baseline of one pound a month
that doesn't sound like a lot
or it may sound like way too much
how much is twelve pounds?
for someone it is what they tip a waiter at a cocktail bar
for someone else it's what they spend to feed a family of five
someone earns twelve pounds an hour
someone else earns twelve pounds a day
someone else gets twelve pounds a second
in interest or dividends on their fortune alone
only you know how much twelve pounds is
and so only you know whether it is too much or too little or just about right
per month or per year
doubled or tripled
or whether you want to think of some other amount altogether
be it large now or small
this is your
experience
only you know what it is worth to you
only you know what you can afford
base your decision on that
and if it is worth much more to you than you can afford
pay what you can afford
and if you can afford much more than it is worth to you
still pay as much as you can afford
someone else in the world
will be grateful to you
as will i
thank you
