"You Can't Cheat The Balance Sheet..."

[Chá Rén 茶人]

"You Can't Cheat The Balance Sheet:

 

You can pay your Doctor.

Or you can pay your Teakeeper.

You can credit your Grocer.

Or come due with the Reaper."

 

This is what you write when going over your monthly budget on Excel, while sipping on Golden Needle Yunnan Dianhong. 

A tea-inspired poem on the consequences of our decisions on our physical well-being and financial health. We always have to pay someone.

We decide whom with our dollars, our time, and our actions...the world gets shaped accordingly.
