money because in that time you could have made money is really twisted

Actually believe it or not, time spent reading a book etc. IS money.
Funny you should use that example as I just got emailed a book
suggestion off list by someone participating in this conversation, my
specific response?
"I will have to read the book, but it may be a while as I am literally
taking vacation from my full time work at the moment to catch up on my
freelance work." (Paraphrase)
Time IS Money. The time it would take me to read that book is quite
literally an investment for me, and right now I need to invest that time
into making money rather than spending it due to an upcoming financial
situation I see in my near future.
Learning ANYTHING is an investment. It's up to you to decide what you
want to learn. If you don't want to learn something new, then stick with
your previous way of doing it so you don't have to learn anything new,
and quit complaining that something new doesn't work the same way you're
used to.
