Time > Money

To me, "time is money" rings true in many ways. While someone wasting your time may not actually prevent you from making money, time is still just as important, if not more. If your time is being wasted by something like seeing a bad movie, it was both a waste of time and money. Then, for people like Bill Gates with high-yielding stocks making him constant money even when he sleeps, time is also money but in a completely different way.

But what is more valuable? I would say time is clearly more valuable, as you could drop dead for any number of reasons at any given moment. I sometimes think of this when I'm made to sit through a really dull class. A thought like "If I were to get hit by a car tonight and die, this is how my last hours were spent?" crosses my head. I think making the best of what time you have left is getting more relevant as the dreaded year 2012 approaches. I personally think it's a load of garbage, but some truly believe it will be the end of the world and thus the end of time.

Regardless of your economic situation, time is money is relevant in the lives of everybody.
