There are so many ways to look at those to sayings. What I take from the saying “time is a gift” is that we only have one life to live and that we should live it to the most we humanly can. There are those of us who have a better quality of life than others, thus they would want to live life to the fullest while others would rather waste their lives and do nothing special with it. As for the saying "time is money" seems to have come out of our capitalist society that we live in. I see it as simple as that and nothing more. What we can positively take from both is that we all live and work around an ever powerful force that we know as time. There are some of us who care more about money than others and there are those who care about experiencing life and all it has to offer.

I do not disagree with what you are saying however “There are those of us who have a better quality of life than others, thus they would want to live life to the fullest while others would rather waste their lives and do nothing special with it” is one side of it. Everybody is different and what one does with their life is completely unlike what another wants to do with their life. I would compare it to the girls who got pregnant in high school. I would always think “why would someone want to do that to their future,” however some of them really did want children at that point and that is how they wanted to live their life, it would be hard at their age, but that is the quality of life that they wanted. They wanted to spend their precious time on earth raising a child at an early age, which in most societies is frowned upon.
thanks for the input...
