oh ok makes sense
I always thought they meant "have" it as in "eat" it. Like you can't eat your cake and eat your cake too. Guess the "you can't spend your money and save it too" explanation makes more sense --- *walks away* ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah it's kinda dumb cause you gotta have the cake in order to eat it.
That kinda applies to the money one too but people do save money where as nobody has a cake simply to have a cake --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!" Bartz-"with cheese biscuts AND mashed potatoes!" ... Copied to Clipboard!

First in reponse to Mead, the cake is always a lie.

Why would you want cake if not to eat it thoughyou could eat it now, or you could it eat later; you could give it to someone else, or you could trade it to someone else. the term for this in economics is opportunity cost. if you spend a resource one way, you forego all of the other ways that you could have spent it. so, the cost of that option is actually more than just the value of the resource. and not having spent the resource yet is a considerably more advantageous position to be in than having spent it. --- ...
