💔 **"You're being a spendthrift."** 💔

That's what they said when I chose a cab over the public bus to visit my mom.

**Here's what they saw:** Money being "wasted" on unnecessary luxury when a cheaper option was available.

**Here's what I saw:** Extra precious minutes with my mom that I could never get back.

**But people had opinions:**

• "Why waste money on a cab?"

• "You're becoming too extravagant"

• "This is not how you were raised"

• "You're being impractical"

For a moment, I felt that familiar guilt creeping in. Maybe they were right. Maybe I was being foolish.

And I realized: They were counting rupees. I was counting moments.

When you start making decisions based on your deeper values instead of social expectations, people notice. And they don't always like it.

**Time is the one thing money can't buy back. Don't let others' opinions cost you what's priceless.**

**Drop a ❤️ if you choose moments over money, love over judgment.**
