I don't know if the translation is correct, but in Spanish we often say we don't have time to do something.
The concept of "having" is based on the assumption that we possess something.
It's curious that we humans believe we "have" time when we don't. In fact, time isn't possessed; the only thing that's important is what we spend that time on.
When you delve deeper into this idea, you realize something very important: we waste time on many stupid things throughout our lives, and one day you wake up realizing you've wasted it or let it slip away without doing anything you'd like to do.
We spend half our lives working for money so we can spend it on what we love, even though work consumes the time available to do so.
In my opinion, it's very important to realize this as soon as possible. When you're young, you should dedicate as much time as possible to achieving a salary or income sufficient to have the option of deciding later what to do with the available time.

You soon realize that the entire system is designed to keep you busy with tasks that don't fulfill you, and that you keep doing what you do so that in the future you can do whatever the hell you want... that moment may never come...
I can't believe there are still people who think retiring at 65 is a dream for them... At 65, what will you be able to do? Rest? Grow tomatoes? Read? Paint with oils?
For how long?
I'm absolutely clear about it: in my 50s, I won't miss any opportunity to spend my time wherever I want, not wherever others dictate... I'm on the right path to doing so, and while some still think "work dignifies you," believe me, that's just a sham to keep us all busy in a broken system with no purpose other than enriching ourselves and giving your time to others.
