Time isn’t money; time is so much more valuable than money
To add to the list of things that have the air of truth to them but no real truth at all, lemme give you one I particularly despise: Time Equals Money.
A buddy of mine put up this thing quoting just that and it reminded me that that’s gotta be one of the stupidest beliefs a body could hold.
Time is so much more valuable than money. Money, you can make and spend; time you can only spend.
Put another way, if given X years to live, how much would you pay for one more year?
Any idiot can make a buck. But in 432,329,886,000,000,000 seconds, no one’s figured out how to make an extra second for themselves.
Working at jobs you hate, to buy things you don’t need, to impress those you don’t know. That’s crazy.
So, if given the chance to make an extra $1,000 or go see your grandma, go see your grandma.
I didn’t and I gotta live with that for all of the seconds I got left.
