“Next Week's Coming” explores the relationship and dichotomy between two essential aspects of everyone’s lives: Time & Money. A wise man once said you can never have both; you’re either too busy or too broke for the move. Regardless of the industry or type of labor, most people have to work some kind of job to sustain themselves even though it isn’t necessarily always what they want to be doing. Although it creates financial stability, it can also be physically, mentally, and (in some cases) emotionally draining. This may prevent you from pursuing things you actually want to do. On the other hand, if you’re not working you might find yourself in a financial jam, which is obviously a big problem on its own. In the perfect world, everyone would be a millionaire doing something they love. But in a not so perfect but very real world that we actually live in, the goal is to find a balance between two essential things that don’t always coexist well.
