Time is Money vs Money is time

Think about the real reason many people spend their time striving to earn more money.

… 🤔

… 🤔

Could it be that they want to trade it for more time, not a better car, a luxurious vacation, or a bigger house?

While to many “time is money”, it’s probably more universal to say that “money is time.”

When it’s spent, the game is over.

One of the great benefits of having money is the ability to pursue those great accomplishments that require the gifts of being (not doing) & time.

Some conclusions from this life design concept:

✅ If you are young, you are far richer than an old billionaire walking the earth.

✅ You don’t buy things with money, but with hours of your life. The less you live with, the fewer hours you need to work, the more time you have to live your life.

✅ Time is the only element in the world that is irretrievable when it’s lost. Lose money & you can make more. Lose a job & you can find another. But lose time & it’s gone forever.

✅ Time is the one asset where everyone is on equal footing. This makes time management one of the most important aspects of creating a life with as little stress as possible. Yet time management is like personal finance — it can have an enormous impact on your well-being but nobody teaches you how to do it!

✅ When you say “I don’t have time,” you usually mean “It’s not a priority” or “I can’t make time for it.”
Yet the truth is, we all have enough time if we’re just careful about how we use it.

✅ Stop thinking that your degree, job, or bank account will set you free. Only you can set yourself free by spending your time wisely.
For you, that might mean pursuing a lifelong career. Or it might mean something else. 𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺.

“Most people have no clue what they are doing with their time but still complain that they don’t have enough.” – Grant Cardone, NYT best-selling author

“The assumption that you’ll be happier with more money leads to disappointment because we overemphasize the reward (money) with no regard to the cost (working longer hours, student debt, the risk of entrepreneurship, etc.). It’s a package deal, and you can’t pick and choose the reward while ignoring the cost.” – Morgan Housel

“People like weekends because it’s when they have the most control over their time; financial goals should keep this in mind.” – Morgan Housel

“Money is not the only way to improve life. Instead of widening your margin of profit, widen your margin of leisure. Instead of optimizing for money, optimize for time. Instead of seeking efficiency, seek recovery.” – James Clear
