Which Would You Prefer to Have More...Time or Money?

Which Would You Prefer to Have More...Time or Money?

A question many have asked others and ourselves.  Most people look at their bank accounts, investment accounts & their wallets and assess how much money is available to spend, invest or give away.  Sadly, most people don't look at time the same way...and usually end up wasting this valuable resource.

Time is much more valuable than money because you can use your time to make money.

Time is the great equalizer...each day has 24 hours, everybody has exactly the same amount...whether a teacher, President, Mortgage Broker, Real Estate Agent or homebuyer.

Too often we hear others say, and sometimes ourselves..."I don't have time to..." -- fill in the blank with whatever you like, "exercise, make dinner, write a book, take my wife on a date, run my business, go to school"

The "excuse makers" have exactly the same 24 hours we have.  If you really want to get in shape, well then carve out time to exercise...etc.  Our time is not going to be used wisely if we plan our day around TV shows or continually checking our friends/family status updates on Facebook.

Everyday we get a deposit of 24 hours into our "time/bank accounts" ... we get a choice how to spend these hours. We decide how much we spend right away, how much gets invested for the future, and how much we give away. The worst choice is to waste these hours by letting them slip away.

As an involved father of a five year old, husband who is encouraging his wife to continue with her education (Master's & PhD), assisting my wife as caretaker for my 94 year-old grandmother, absentee landlord, business owner, active member of our church and continually increasing my personal production in assisting homeowners with mortgages...I truly understand the value of time.

If we don't use our time to achieve the goals we have set, then we are left with empty ambitions.
