86,400

Imagine having a bank account that is credited each morning with $86,400. It does not carry a balance over from day to day.  You cannot keep a cash balance because at the end of the day whatever part of the amount you failed to use during the day is cancelled.
What would you do?
Why you would draw out every single cent of course!
It’s interesting that with money, this concept is so clear. Yet we all have an account like this. Its name is TIME. Every morning, you receive a credit of 86,400 seconds. Every night, whatever of this amount you have failed to invest and put to good use is written off, as a loss. This account carries over no balance and doesn't allow any overdrafts either.
Each day opens a new account for you and each night the remaining balance is zeroed out.
Every day’s deposits are yours to spend as you choose – spend them wisely.
