"Money is the store of human time and energy."

Inflation is basically someone saying that your time and effort worth less now.

This means you have to increase your time or energy you put in, if you want to live, otherwise you won't have enough to live.

Our time and energy we can put in has a hard cap. What happens when we reach it?

Does this mean the person who works the same hard throughout his life is punished to starve because he reached his maximum?
