Just not identical in terms of what you receive from it. |
I guess this is hard for me for two reasons:
1. Money means very little to me. I see it as a necessity, but not as valuable. I don't use it as a means of defining worth. So it doesn't feel "equal" to me because what she gives is much more valuable than any amount of money ever could be.
2. I am actually not paying her this month. I have some dental bills to pay, so she agreed to see me for two months for free so I could pay those off.
