Instead of thinking in money you should think in widgets.

Do you want more money but the same amount of widgets or do you want the same money but more widgets?

I want more money and the same amount of widgets, because then after I buy my widget, I have more money leftover to buy thingamabobs.

But if I earn less money, even if widgets drop in price, I don't have enough money to buy a thingamabob.

And really, how many widgets do I need? My garage is already stacked full of them and I can't even fit my car inside.
