Time is money

These days things are expensive. You can spend a lot less with diy projects and what not. We just got a new bed. While putting it together my husband said, "I could of made this". I was like ya when? He works full time. Yes we could of made it for probably half of the cost. So the working man has to pay more for things he needs. He would of never had the time to make it. Time is money? does that make sense? Anything in your life you could save money on by making or doing yourself but don't because it was or is more convenient?

in essence we have to agree that time is money, and to how our modern day world runs we need no glasses to see that, and yes i have to agree with the speech when your husband says he could have made it, many time we spend for things which we can do our selves but still yet we spend, i guess its because we get caught up in our own work world that seeing a short cut we gladly take it even if we have to pay knowingly we have the ability to do the same task.

Time is money, when you go to work you spend time at your work and you earn money. Time is money, when you come to any online income sites, those you did in there depending on the effort and time is equivalent to a certain amount of money. And if you use this time for other things that don't give you money then it is a loss of time and also a loss of an opportunity to earn. You could have used your time instead of playing a game in facebook, you can however spend it on mylot. Of course there are times when you need to take a rest, and this is us talking about your health. when you in turn work yourself out more than you should, then you are in a danger of losing money still because you might need to go to a doctor, etc.

This is what is happening. Most of my friends are doing social networking, chatting with their friends over facebook. Yet, I prefer sites like Mypage5, Mylot etc during that time. It is up to everyone. Each one of us has his or her own style, and preference. Have a nice day!

I think that this is something that is the truth for all of us. For example tonight I could have made dinner at home but I didn't because we had other things that we needed to do. And of course there is also the fact that people are paid hourly rates as opposed to being paid a salary. That does mean that if they take some time off of work to make something for themselves that they are losing their wages for the time that they were away from work.

We have little time for everything, that's why we need to prioritize what we need to do during our spare time. One way to accomplish things is to have a "to-do list" in order for you to know what to do first or finish first if you have some spare time, say, during weekends.

Yes indeed! But how about the bums? They have plenty of time, yet they seem to lack all the money?

Hi, You are right. Time is money. You have to do everything in time. If your bed is not made in time then what is the use of it. It would become old. If the time gone we can not get it back.

Well, there are so many things that we could have done if we had more time. Yet, it is never ideal. Many of the things keep on moving around in our minds. Yet they never see the light of the day. So, we get dissatisfied and long for more. Yet, there is no use keeping on crying for things which cannot be done within the time available for us.

i could say that time is money too because if we don't know to handle our time we can have nothing,and not only saving of money but we should also make money and to make money we should not waste our time standby at home and do nothing,we should use our time make money.
