Thank you so much for this article! I've never thought about these metaphors before and was pretty shocked with how easily we can accept something in a language without even reflecting on it!
I would have to say I do think the money/time metaphore has influenced my actions regarding time management and how I view it as such a valuable asset, as it were an investment rather than a social construct!
It's really wild, right!? There's so many examples of conceptual metaphors and they all blow my mind. The time is money one sticks out to me, too! It's the default way to talk about time, but it really has a lot of ideology attached to it (without anyone ever realizing). Thanks for your comment!
