Have you ever heard these common expressions?

“time is money”

“money can’t buy you happiness”

or as I put it “money can’t buy you time”

Time and money are two of the most important and most wasted resources we have as humans.

Time is Money

Let me tackle the first expression. Time is Money. This is true is it not? Most people just say this expression when they are working hard and want to be left alone. It could easily be replaced with, “not now, I’m busy.”

However, when you take time to look at the expression you begin to realize that time really is money. What is work? In it’s simplest form, work is really just trading my time (40 hours a week) for money (a paycheck). Plain and simple. If I quit my job I will suddenly have 40 hours extra in my week, but, unfortunately, I will also have no money.
