the phrase "time is money" constantly reminds me of the other ever popular phrase that states "there's no such thing as a free lunch".
Of course there's no such thing as a free lunch in a capitalist society, and because we live in such a capitalist society (thanks a bunch government/corporate bail outs!) time is also equal to money.
Lunch: its never free. Someone always pays for it in some way. Even if you don't pay any money for it, its still not free, you are then indebted to the giver/provider of the "free" lunch. If you believe in good (or bad) karma, even a found lunch isn't free!
If you make lunch yourself, its not free because you worked for it. Money and work are equal in this country, even though labor wages are disputable.
It's not necessarily a pleasant thing to think about everything we do in our day being equal to a monetary value.
I prefer to live by the motto: A good lunch should not be free, and quality time is priceless.
