I think it's a cool image.
I measure it in days. If I stopped working right now, how long could I continue to buy food, provide shelter and heat for my family, and honorably pay all my debts? Since my passive income is 0, the answer is only about a month or so - whatever I have in savings. But I hope soon to have infinite wealth, as measured in days.
That's what money means to me -- having the days of my life for my own, instead of selling my life at an hourly rate.
