Trading Time for Money

Should you choose to trade your limited conscious time for money? Perhaps you should consider the following:

Fiat currency is as an infinite resource that attempts to reflect the value of the time a human spent producing a good or providing a service. This dictates the price to acquire said good or service. Perhaps your lawyer charges quite a lot. Well, she went to law school and that required TIME. She acquired detailed knowledge of law interpretation which you now require from her. She must be compensated commensurate with her effort to obtain the knowledge she now offers you.

Valuing Time – Inflation

Inflation increases the prices of goods but what it really does is devalue your TIME. Your Life. If you work for the same goods and services that you require that are now more expensive, your time has been devalued.

Finite Resources

Time as a conscious person is the most valuable measurable asset. If you choose to trade time for money, be very sure that you are making a good trade.

For instance:

Would you prefer to work for an hour at a job so you can buy yourself lunch, or would you prefer to spend time with your family? Could you not spend more time doing things that make you happy?

The Trade – Needs/Wants

What will be the reason for the grind? Will you find yourself old and grey wishing you had more objects? Or, wishing you had more time?

Stop thinking about money and start thinking about how you spend your time.
