In this brief monologue, Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP, challenges the common societal view that money itself is inherently good or evil. She argues that the focus should be on loving the act of making money rather than the money itself. Liu introduces the metaphor of money as "bottled time," emphasizing that it is a neutral resource that can be used to create both destructive (e.g., bombs) and constructive (e.g., hospitals, wells, schools, educational videos) outcomes. She concludes that when used for good, money simply amplifies one’s capacity to help the world.

You don't want to love money. You want to learn to love making money. There's this huge, terrible paradigm in society that money is somehow good or bad. Money is the root of all evil. It's the love of money that's the root of all the love of— it's just bottled time. And that bottled time can build bombs. That bottled time can build hospitals. It can build wells and build schools. It can make YouTube videos that educate. If you do want to help the world, then all it's going to do is amplify your ability to do that.
