"I don't mind going back to daylight saving time. With inflation, the hour will be the only thing I've saved all year"

About this Quote
This quote by Victor Borge is a humorous take on the results of inflation. He is suggesting that due to the increasing expense of living, he has not had the ability to conserve any money throughout the year. Nevertheless, he is content with the concept of returning to daytime saving time, as it will offer him an extra hour of time, which he can use to his advantage. He is implying that this hour is the only thing he has saved all year, as it is the only thing that has not been impacted by inflation. This quote is a lighthearted method of expressing the financial struggles that lots of people deal with due to inflation. It is a pointer that even the tiniest of cost savings can be advantageous, and that we must make the most of the resources we have.
