Is time as valuable as currency?

[Q-T_3.14.exe]

When I hear the saying "time is money" that kinda makes sense. But how?
Let's try to figure this out.

Isn't there this film where time is currency?

There is, in the sense that "time" is your actual lifespan.

Yes, but on the bright side, people don't age and time is just fiat currency there.

As Pierce Dalton quoted, time is money because we expend time to earn money. The key to the saying is to work smarter not harder as the less time we expend to earn dollars the easier it is to live a well balanced & fulfilling life.

When you're working, you're actually selling your time, right?

However time is much more precious than money, because if we spend most of our lives chasing dollars, then how much time remains for enjoying life. I guess it comes down to knowing what is enough to achieve a healthy life work balance.

unlike time, you can't kill money

Money will kill itself. Once we print enough money it will inflate so much to the point where it becomes worthless.

that is somewhat unexpected coming from you but i see your point.

time and money,i think it is about perspective,what does a germ know about time and money,they just idle around and reproduce.
time and money is first a human concept after it is a society concept.
and if human introduce the aspect of fate into these,where does the concept of time and money stand in front of fate.
i cant hack this,i cant see what this is leading.

For example you have a $1000 diamond.
You can list it as $1200 and wait for about 2-3 weeks where more and more people get to know that item. Eventually someone will buy it.
Or you can sell it at $1 and it's gone instantly.

So "time is money" is a saying - depends on how long you're willing to wait for the most profit.

I have never thought about "Time is money" in this way. This is really good. I've always seen it as a disillusion spread to heighten and cement money's ultimate stranglehold over the validity and worth of what it is being exchanged for. I guess to put it another way, compare our most valuable individual asset [time] with our greatest effort to ease the general burdens of life and an over-encompassing view point for order [money] for the sake of money to have uncontested value to all the masses. My view is so mechanical and lacks what your view easily expresses "depends on how long you're willing to wait for the most profit." It really evens both the time and money to a similar value by translating from one to the other instead of how I went about it placing the value in one and correlating it to the other. Good stuff :)

Time isn't as valuable as the currency you're trying to convert your time into.
If you have the currency, money, you do have the time.. Right?

It does also depend on the demand.
If you can convert your time into a valuable currency, your time is worth a lot, and vice-versa.

time and money,i think this is a ruler to find out who is the lowest working class.
but i dont see average working class as desperate as i usually am.

Time is a basic physical unit. Money is only a medium of exchange. ,-)

Time is a social construct so no.

time marches on regardless if humans are around or not.
